We had a really nice time. Very peaceful and we did DC at our own pace.

My friend Mario joined us on Friday evening and most of Saturday. He was working. Kind of. He had his radio with him and handled most of his job by radio.

The flowers were just spectacular. Wow. My daughter and I took lots of pictures of flowers all over the city.

Mario gave us a tour of the Senate buildings on Friday night. We even got to ride in the Senators only elevator. Our tour gave us new meaning of being spoiled. We had the place to ourselves except for the workers who clean the place 24/7.

On Sunday we finished up DC and then took the metro out to Vienna and saw my girlfriend Nancy and some other friends of ours. Nancy is in really bad shape with her alcoholism. Very sad. Then our other friends picked us up and took us to Reston town center and we had a blast. Nancy's husband lives there and joined us for some relaxation. He is such a nice guy.
Then we went off and played mini golf at this really cool place.

All in all we had a really nice time. And the weather cooperated and was nice and warm.
