MA!  One of my biggest pleasures was being able to show my family the magnificence of DC.  It really is a fabulous place, and living there, sometimes you get used to it, you know?  But when your family comes for the first time, and you take them to all the marvelous places, it's like experiencing it for the first time all over again.  Tommy had a particular liking for the History and Space Museums... there's just something magical for everyone in that city.  I'm glad you were finally able to share our nation's capitol with your familY!
