They appeared out of the woodwork.

It was even better than the one downtown. KOD'S tour in Washington was fantastic, I'm sorry you missed out. We have another great tour scheduled this year. Nationals last year was my first visit to D.C. and I so enjoyed seeing all the sites. We even walked down to the White House and saw the V.P. leave in his black SUV! Thrilling, I can tell you. You're right about all the plot ideas, it just makes your head spin, doesn't it? Glad you had such a fun time. Now if I can just talk my DH into driving up!<br /><br />Melba Moon<br />President-Elect KODAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085485154799354400.post-22350323327616595452010-07-14T11:09:48.837-07:002010-07-14T11:09:48.837-07:00You're so right, Caroline.

I think I could visit the wonderful city a dozen times and still not see all I want to see, just downtown.<br /><br />There are so many sites to visit throughout and across the river. Next time, we want to see Mt. Vernon, the National Art Gallery (can you imagine the treasures in there) and the National Archives. <br /><br />And like I said the food is fanastic. I think I'm ready now. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, again.Autumn Jordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168172253998245307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085485154799354400.post-18981596981726817582010-07-14T09:31:51.359-07:002010-07-14T09:31:51.359-07:00There's so much to see and do in D.C., isn'...There's so much to see and do in D.C., isn't there? When we took our kids to the Smithsonian, we were sure we'd covered the place pretty well. The week after we were home, there was a promo for D.C. and they showed a chair in the Smithsonian. Both kids looked at me and said in unison, "We didn't see that!" Still haven't seen Gettysburg.<br />Thanks for sharing your trip.Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085485154799354400.post-85676287688476466552010-07-14T09:18:23.532-07:002010-07-14T09:18:23.532-07:00Oh no I didn't, Kaylea.

I had to slap his hand.<br /><br />Another area we spent time in was Codes and Cipher. They have been around for ages and it was interesting to see how they became more sophisticated as decades passed. <br /><br />It would be so much fun to go there with a group of romantic suspense writers though. I think KOD members went last year, but I missed out. SIGH. <br /><br />We love the civil war era too and on the way home stopped for lunch in Gettysburg. It's one of our favorite spots to soak in the past.Autumn Jordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168172253998245307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085485154799354400.post-39936579935068770972010-07-14T09:08:24.007-07:002010-07-14T09:08:24.007-07:00Hi, Judy.

I played one where you had to pick two spies, who wore a disguises, out of a crowd only after seeing their real faces for a few seconds. I found them. Then they showed how the covers were applied. <br /><br />There was just so much to take in. Definitely take it in. The cost was $18.00, but to me it was well worth it.Autumn Jordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168172253998245307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085485154799354400.post-384157420141767592010-07-14T08:36:09.567-07:002010-07-14T08:36:09.567-07:00Ooh, I wish I could've come with you guys!
