We went to the News Museum (Newseum) in DC, just off of the Capitol Mall. It was very interesting to see all of the same news event covered from many papers around the country and world. One of the exhibits was the news coverage of Lincoln's assignation and how it helped find the conspirators. More information on Saturday. The Pulitzer prize photographs were the most compelling for me.
The most interesting part of the day was talking to a guy waiting to watch a news conference at the Newseum on a new telescope (Solar Dynamics Observatory) that is observing the sun. He was the nicest guy and he loved talking about the satellite. Ed finally told me he was an astrophysicist and he helped design the telescope. Pretty incredible pictures that the satellite is sending back to earth.
A forgettable lunch at the Newseum.
An afternoon snack of homemade chili, jalapeno corn muffins and a super tasting porter at the Capitol Brewery.
Dinner- I pooched fresh tillapia fillets over lemon slices and covered with a light coating of mayonnaise. Nancy and Carol filled out the menu with steamed broccoli and yellow baked potatoes.
