Saturday Afternoon in DC

Today we spent the afternoon in DC with Jill and Eric.  We had plans months ago to visit Madam Tussauds wax museum but plans fell thru on account of snow I believe (can't remember that far back!) and finally we were able to make it happen.  Neither John nor I had ever been - I checked out the reviews online, they were pretty poor. We decided to give it a go anyways... turns out the reviews were right. It definitely wasn't worth the cost - at least not at this particular location. I wasn't all that impressed with the way the figures looked either. Regardless, we still had a decent time  there despite it lasting less than an hour. We then hiked up a few blocks and checked out the Museum of Crime and Punishment. Awesome, awesome, awesome place!! Its really not a place for kids, but Khai was a sport and hung in there. And while it was expensive to get in, it was worth the money and we definitely loved it.  Dinner afterwards was at the Hard Rock Cafe, located next  the to the famous Ford Theater where Lincoln was shot. I've never been to one.. neither has Khai.. so there you go.. another first. Overpriced nachos that were no better than some crap you pull together at home.. the chocolate milkshake was super yum and Khai enjoyed his very first one ever. (another first! woo!). And it wouldn't be a trip out if someone doesn't call him a girl on account of his hair.  He cried when I asked him if I could give him a haircut later, but finally allowed me to cut about an inch off. For the record.. I have no plans on cutting it short. I really don't care that people think he's a girl - I don't see it.  He loves his hair and so do we. Its staying. Just had to trim it up some!

President Khai Dinh

The best part was he got on the phone and said he had to call his Mommy.

Your typical tourists.
