D.C. What a time I had. I saw lots of things that I thought I would never see. One of them being the inside of the White House!! We'll get to that later.

First of all let me just say that American West's pilot's are a bunch of sissys. The "thunderstorm" in Vegas scared our pilot so we went from holding pattern, to landing at another airport to refule, then back to Vegas to sit and wait for a gate to open up. Long story short I missed my flight and took the same one the next night. I killed a day in Vegas no biggy. Walked up and down the strip.

Got to Maryland, and I really don't feel like typing what I did. I'll just post some pictures and they will tell the story.

The Capital. This was the first day in D.C.

Arlington National Cemetary. It was very hot this day.

Here is a marine that "guards" the Tomb of the Unknowns. I bet he's hotter than me.

The White House. I didn't go inside yet.

This is the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy's office. These are his challenge coins. He has a bunch.

Me sitting in the Chief of Naval Personel's desk. He is a Vice Admiral by the way.

Look at me, I'm in the press room at the White House.

Me outside the entrance to the West Wing.

There are more. Email me if you want a picture CD with all of them. It was a fun fun time. I also made a lot of contacts in D.C. Hopfully I can get stationed closer to home. Anyways that's all for now.
