(Friday) August 12
10 miles (by bike)
Today we peeked at the White House through the fence for a few minutes before the Secret Service cleared the sidewalk in preparation for the Greenbay Packers coming to meet the President. We were relegated to eating our lunch on the lawn, chatting with the Packers fans.
Then we went to the Museum of American History, where we got to see Julia Child's kitchen, attend a mock training session for the lunch counter sit-ins, and hold a replica of the Star Spangled Banner with about 100 people while we sang the national anthem. Proud to be an American!
Like the Cutler Cycletrek T-shirt? Rich had them specially designed for our trip, complete with our signatures, like we're celebrities. I certainly look like one, don't I?
In the evening we joined our old friends Mike & Katie Baird at their home in Reston, VA for dinner and swimming. We had missed them, and it was so fun to catch up with them and meet all five (!) of their kids.
