More on DC

I asked my seven year old son what he liked the best so far in Washington.
"The hotel!" he said.

I replied, "We have been here five days and the thing you like the best so far is the hotel????'

"Oh, um, also the.... Metro!" (For those who do not know, the metro is the train system that takes you to all the destinations).

So much for providing him with a fun and educational experience.

It got better because we went to the zoo and he got to see lots of animals he liked, mostly reptiles.

Another funny thing that happened was when we were walking towards the Lincoln Memorial. My son asked my husband what buildings there were across the park. "Oh, those are just buildings. " he said.

My daughter said, "Ah, dad, isn't that the White House?"

He looked again, "Oh, yeah....that IS the White House!"

Funny...
