The last three weeks have been busy with travel. One good thing was that I got some photographs:
I was in the Washington DC area, so I managed to see the Smithsonian Musem of American History and the First Ladies' dresses. It appears I'm about the same size as Mamie Eisenhower, but the fitting rooms were all full:

First Ladies' Exhibit at Smithsonian
As long as we were there we wandered to the Lincoln Memorial. One interesting thing, while the place looks great, they are getting ready for the inauguration and that means the reflecting pool is lined with Porta-Potties. A little odd but would love to see the photos the morning before:

With a quick return home came a chance to visit Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill with Jason. I actually saw a flock of parrots squawk by as we were walking up the hill, so I finally do believe in them.
