Halloween

This year you did not get to go to Nashville for Halloween but you got to go to trunk or treat in Red Bay. You wore my old black belt karate uniform. I thought you looked cool!

Today was a very busy hectic day.  We began by walking around the White House and taking pictures.

Zero Milestone.  The point at which all distances are measure from in DC

The National Cathedral

Earthquake Damage









This where things got interesting.  We were supposed to go in Ford's Theater and see where John Wilks Booth shoot Lincoln and the bed where Lincoln died.  However, you got very sick.  In fact you almost passed out.  I ended up in a cab rushing you to an urgent care.  I later walked the streets of DC and around the Pentagon city Mall looking for a pharmacy that could fill your medicine.  The only way they could do it was to give you multiple pills in a smaller dose that added up to the dose you needed.  You ended up taking around 16 pills that night.  It was not fun.  Later that evening we went to the Air Force Memorial.  It is designed to look like the trails from a jet.  We then visited the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts and the Iwo Jima Memorial.  It was a long day and I hope you were able to tour again tomorrow.
