OK - So we are joking but this does really look like Tryone on the White House grounds. This leads us to our question right off the start - which US President(s) had English Springer Spaniels?
We have spent the last 2 days exploring all the great things in the US Capital. We ended up staying at a National Forest just outside of the city area and then took the subway in.
Washington is home to many world renowned Smithsonian Museums (and there is no admission for most of them). We took in a few like the Natural History Museum and American History Museums. We saw many sites including a display of ball gowns of all the past First Ladies,the Hope Diamond and the big excitement was seeing "Night in the Museum 2" on IMAX which was filmed right in the various Smithsonian Museums!
Walking is a given when visiting here, we spent lots of time walking (in the pouring rain) to see the Lincoln Memorial, US Capital Building, Vietnam, Washington and WW2 Memorials, Reflecting Pool and of course the White House. Lots to see and do that is for sure.
We are now in southern Pennsylvania and are hoping to explore Gettysburg, Lancaster and Hersey in the next while.
About the last question - the photo from Jamestown Virginia, there were lots of good guesses but the correct answer and the Mytton family knew, was Princess Pocahontas. We certainly learned that the Disney story is very different from reality. Go figure. Click here to read more on her
Bye for now.

Hi Leah and family, I also went with my family to see "Night at the Museum 2" my favourite part was at the end when the big dinosaur roared at the boys who didn't think he was very scary. Mom thinks that it was George W. Bush that had english springer spaniels.
oh my that would be Bush Senior, I would like to know what you are feeding Emma she is towering over Leah. Tyrone is going to need doggy therapy when he comes back to boring Delburne, But terry thinks you guys won't get in a rv for awhile. talk to you later

Paul, we only got 3/4 inch of rain this time and no snow.
I think the Clintons had those type of bad dogs? Tell Grampa H that it's so dry here the gophers are leaving. It rained 3/4 of an inch 2 miles west of us and we got 1/10 of 1/10 of it. (no fibing)
Ray if you stop at some work fairs and drop off your resume (or CV as they call it now) you could write your trip off, just tell the government you were looking for work?
Take care
Paul
