Been in Florida for 22 1/3 years or so. Since June of 1996. Moved from a place about 30 miles east of Bodega Bay and 15 miles south of Santa Rosa, CA. Used to be movie production trailers 300 feet out our backdoor as what was then the Red Lion Inn had some kind of deal with Hollywood producers or some such people for movie trailer parking rates and hotel rates. And the townsfolk were sort of discrete about Hollywood's presence. https://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/ho...-DT/index.html

I did have some surreal talks when out walking our pooch around the Mountain Shadows Golf Course or whatever they called it from 1986-1996. Foxtail Golf Club - Rohnert Park, CA

Except for the flying cockroaches and other loathsome critters on various legs, life has been NOTHING but good. And only some trips to Texas and/or Washington DC have broken that up.

I am wanting to take a trip up to Washington. I love the Building Museum Home of the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. and have not been there for decades. Sometime next year I am NOTHING but going to plan a trip.

We took the train from Seattle to DC. Stopped in Chicago for 3 days including St. Patrick's day. Then spent a week in DC seeing the sights, then flew home. It was NOTHING short of a spectacular trip.

It's about time you slackers posted something today.

Funny thing about DC, I was just looking at some info yesterday and thinking hubby and I should NOTHING but make a trip down again while we're still up here. Last time I went was about 5 years ago when our friends from France were here to visit. So much to do and see there.......

We planned the trip way in advance. We got in touch with our Congress critter and secured tickets for the White House and the Capital. We went to our Senators office where an intern took us on the underground Capital subway. Then he gave us a private tour of the Capital building. It was NOTHING short awe inspiring.. And I'm sure Tal will appreciate this. The most beautiful building I've ever been in is probably the Library of Congress. Truly stunning.

You and Mrs K have really gone on some amazing trips. It is NOTHING but fun to hear about them.

We actually made it to nine of the Smithsonian museums.

We went to the Holocaust museum and Arlington National Cemetery in the same day. That was tough.

We did a guided walking tour of the Mall stopping at each memorial. Plus the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

Also went to the Supreme Court, National Archives, Library of Congress, The Capital, The White house and the Spy Museum.

I'm sure there were others. It was NOTHING but a full trip. I'd love to do it again.
