LISA06 - Day 2
Day two began with Breakfast at the Ocean Cafe. Ken spun tails of his attempts to get food in DC at 3:00 am on a Tuesday morning, and we spoke of what we wanted to do for the day. Back at the hotel we went through the registration process, looked at a few conference things, the Training Sessions were wrapping up, Technical sessions started on Wednesday, there was some evening things to consider hitting at LISA but we did have a few hours free during the day, so we decided to hit the town. Of course being geeks the best thing we could possibly do with some unexpected free time in DC was to hit the Smithsonian. It rocked, we got to see so many things, The museum of air and space was my favorite, though we were slightly really disappointed when we found out that the hanger that had the Space Shuttle Enterprise, the SR71 Black bird and other really cool things was to far away to get to with the couple of hours of free time that we had to work with.
We did battle once again with the DC Metro (I think I reached Level 3, but we never made it to Shady Grove to get the Quest) and met Niki's Mother who brought us out to their place to have dinner.
Niki's father drove us back to the Hotel, we had a very scenic tour of DC ending up a the Washington monument a few times before we actually made it back to the hotel.
We jumped onto the LISA IRC channel and communed with our geek brethren for a while and then it was time to go to sleep... The next day was packed and started early.
