As promised, I took Magdalena to see Washington DC today. Here's our fun.

We drove downtown in Ellie, my Firefly Element.


and parked near the Capitol. Very Beautiful!


Mags took my pic at the Capitol. See? I do exist.


Then we walked to the Washington Monument.



There was a big Pro/Anti War Protest March today.



Magda and I made our views known.
Power to the People, Magda!



Then we visited the World War II Monument.



And went on to the Lincoln Memorial. Leave it to Magda to meet not one, but two groups of Aussies touring it as well!


No worries, Fly! I quit smoking!




and then looking back from the top of the Lincoln Memorial steps


We have tired feet and big grins. Magda had a huge sense of accomplishment from walking the entire thing. I had a huge sense of pride that Magda loved Washington so much. What a wonderful day.

I am having a ball - I don't know who's feeling the luckier girl - Mav's or me!!

We walked so far and ended up at the front gate of the White House (which I only realised is not the side that the oval office is on today!!) and dreamt of Josh Lyman coming through the gate and whisking me off to his brownstone townhouse for deep political intercourse...

*blushes furiously!*

Oh well, at least I get to meet Dano soon
I'm glad you're having fun, you gorgeous ladies!

You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. And love keeps her in the air when she oughtta fall down… tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keels… makes her a home.

Oooh, beautiful photos. What a great day to be in DC!
Along with the monuments we always used to tour the FBI or the Mint or something institutional. And there was the obligatory visit to the Smithsonian.
I've been on the Left Coast so long I've never been to the Air and Space Museum, on the Smithsonian Mall. Serenity may not be there -- yet -- but there are the little bitty craft in which we humans took our first flights into space from Earth-That-Is.
Worth a trip for anyone who's nearby.

Wait... The Nexus or Firefly Island? Make up your mind. I'm spreading myself thin. The Nexus might very well depend on Tidbit's Zero-Point Energy discovery. Firefly Island might just depend on time.

OK Mav get Tidbit in gear. Now that he's met and adores Magda, he'll be more motivated. Then Fly can get us a nexus and we can use that to simply take over an island of less strong willed people...there you go. Problem solved.

Sounds like a personal issue to me. I really don't want to hear the problems. I want to hear solutions.

edit: msg, Tidbit has decided to marry Meredith. See? Problem solved. She can stay in the country now. We may need to move to West Virginia or Arkansas, where it is legal for a 6 year old to marry a ** year old woman.

Your Wombat loves you right back and is tearing up again!! It was a day I shall remember for the rest of my life!! That's for sure! Thank you again sweet Mavourneen!

Uploading pics as we speak - but these I can put up now!

(Note: for those with sensitive eyes sunglasses might be worn to protect you from the radiant glow of my sunburnt chest!)

We went to Gettysburg!!! I still cannot believe it - and I am still rather overwhelmed that I have actually set foot on this remarkable piece of land where the future of the United States was pretty much decided over the course of 3 days and at the expense of over 51,000 lives.

Favourite photo of me from the day!


Trying to look serious... but with our new mascot "Cherry Chase", the snake, sticking out of my bag all the same...


Standing just outside the cemetery which is also just a few feet away from where Lincoln delivered his famous address... "Four score and seven years ago..."


EDIT: LOL - you guys were having a full on conversation while I as posting!! The 'Nexus' will solve everything Fly!!

I love that idea too Li'l sis - we shall just appear on the beach one day and say "OK... times up... everyone who is not a browncoat off the island!!!" Perhaps we'll find a few more converts along the way!!

Oh yes - it's true - I was proposed to on Saturday night (well more or less) he was pretty clear that he wants to marry me and isn't worried about the age difference at all... and hey! I'm learning that younger men have a lot going for them so...
