I won't be on tomorrow (Dec 2nd) due to being on a class trip to Washington D.C., for US Goverment. I am unsure if i will be Friday either, due to not knowing when i'll get home. Just thought i would give you a heads up on why im not on.

Hope you were able to sit in on a Supreme Court session. I always found that to be the best part of similar trips I took in my youth. Also, hoep you got to do the FBI tour, though I was dissapointed that there was no display of Edgar Hoover's dress collection.

The Smithsonian and the Air and Space Museum were two of my favorites!
We also had a chance to go into the Capitol during a session once. I don't think I've seen the Supreme Court, but that would be cool.

They have "the Supreme Court" in Ottawa? I was never really sure how the judicial fit into the whole parliamentary system.
My favorite is the Einstein statue...right off the mall there is a bronze statue of Albert where he looks like he is melting a bit...there is a star map in front of him....if you stand in the center and speak towards him...he is acoustically set up that it sounds like your voice surrounds you...it is really cool and nobody really knows about it...

Yes, it's called The Supreme Court of Canada.
Haven't seen that one either, LOL. We went on a boooooring class trip to the provincial courts once. I think the high point of the trip was lunch at McDonalds.

The Air and Space museum is one of my favorite places in all of America.
The FBI building tour was also very good
The Holocaust museum is very moving
Ad the Washington Monument is a lot of stairs

Trip was great, went to the Holocaust museum, which was very touching. Went to see "Shear Madness" an amusing comedy at the Kennedy Center, the WWII and Vietnam memorials, the Smithsonian and lastly my favorite of the trip the Spy museum...that place was just plain awesome + + ;D
