Sonya and Tony go to Washington - December 2004!

Sonya and I visited Washington over two days the Christmas of 2004.  On Sunday, December 26th, Sonya and I went on a drive with Auntie Loling and visited the National Museum of the American Indian, George Town, and The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.  On Tuesday, December 28th, Sonya and I went through a Staff Led Tour of the Capitol from Congresswoman Bordallo's office.  Then we visited the National Museum of Air and Space; the Holocaust Memorial Museum; and then the National Museum of American History.  Later that evening, Uncle Tom took us on a night tour of the Capitol.  We stopped and visited the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, and the Korean War Veterans Memorial.  We drove by the White House, Jefferson Memorial, Iwo Jima Memorial, and the Arlington Cemetary.
