I am trying this from my phone so it may not be great but here goes!

Today is the last day here and we are sitting on the mall right now bathed in sunshine!  It is a wonderful day and I wish that the whole trip could have been like this but over all t was retry great anyway.

Today we are going to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving.  Gonna see how that money is really made Taking a quick stop at the restrooms in front of the Washington Monument where we just got done taking a bunch of photos in the nice light.  Alright – off to see the money!!!

The tour of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving was pretty cool.  It was actually short and sweet, but the machines and the process that you could see was interesting.  It did have an overwhelming smell of money though and after just a bit of time it was bad.  They sold all kinds of stuff there, shredded money and uncut money sheets and stuff, but I just got an magnet.

We just finished up lunch at the USDA.  They have a cafeteria that is open to the public that some security guard said was pretty good.  It was good, but I am not sure that it is like special food or anything.  It was pretty cool that they are huge into recycling and stuff.

Now we are just taking our time headed back to the hotel so that we can catch a bus to the airport and head home.  I think 4 days was a bit much, but it was nice that today was by far the best day weather wise that we have had.  yesterday would have been good, but Saturday we walked so much that I was just exhausted and I think Paul was a little worn out as well.

I will probably take some time in a couple days to write again about the trip when everything has had a little bit of time to sink in.  I will also try to post the pictures while we are in the airport and I am trying to put descriptions on everything so it will be easy to know what it is
