DAY 4: International Spy Museum & Swimming

DAY 4:

Today I went to the International Spy Museum, but they wouldn't let us take pictures. It was amazing. There were cigarrettes that shot bullets and an umbrella that pokes you and poisons you.

I really wanted to go to Ford's Theatre, where Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, but it was closed because they're fixing it up.



This is right across from the theatre where they rushed Lincoln after he was shot, but he still died the next morning.


Everywhere we go, we use the Metro. We usually ride the Blue or the Yellow. They run mostly underground and go really fast.
I got to go swimming tonight after dinner at The Hard Rock Cafe. It was a small pool but it was still fun.
Tomorrow's a big day: 1) Going UP the Washington Monument 2) Go to the Printing & Engraving Building 3) Go to the White House and (Jefferson Memorial if time) 4) Go to Arlington Cemetery to watch the changing of the guards. Then I get to go swimming again.

Too bad about the Ford Theater, but what a great day you had. I have taken a metro in Boston and it was fast too.

Looks like Pops has all the bags in the subway. What's up with that?

Swimming. Hey this is supposed to be an school trip. I guess you can call that P.E. Ha Ha.

Can't wait to see you all.

a cigarrette that shoots. umbrella's that poke with poison. That must have been really cool. I would like a hot dog that shoots something . . . like ketchup.


Take lots of pictures tomorrow. It sounds like an interesting day.

Love you.

Tammy and Marcus,

I don't see any list of people that you want me to send the blog to, so I am going to send it to all of our friends.

Love you all

Darren

Hi Marcus. It sound like you and Mom are having a lot of fun. The Spy Museum sounds like fun. Perhaps when you get back, you and the boys can build one of your own. I know the boys would like to see the Spy Museum. Stay safe. Mungi

Hey Marcus! Do you recognise my picture? I am in disguise so only close family members would recognise that the Strictly Soccer Logo in secret code stands for...Auntie Shelley!
I think the Spy Museum is the most interesting! Do you think you might be a spy or detective when you grow up?
Well, enjoy the rest of your trip! Looks like a really fun time for a school project! We miss you!

Thanks for writing Dad, Mungi and Auntie Shelley. I can't write any more because I have to go to bed.
