Thank you so much Teresa. I found DC a fascinating city to visit and of course the night tour of many of the monuments was one of the highlights. Well worth the trip accross the country. Hope you get the chance to see it soon. #7986851

Thank you Rita. This one has gone to several schools, no charge of course. To me that is more important than the contest, as is you very nice comments. #8832618
