Dec 26- The Big Flood

Things are all out of order on the blog...with both Gene and I posting we've gotten all confused. We'll just post everything and you can figure it out! We moved the RV from Greenbelt to a new (fancy) park yesterday. After we got set up we wandered the Mall again and finally finished the Archives. Whew! They have a wonderful exhibit right now that has first hand accounts of important events--some written by ordinary folks that witnessed the event, and some written by famous folks. Really incredible and even I wanted to read every one. I let Gene take me on the 10 minute tour of the Air and Space museum before we headed home, so I'm going to put up a few more pictures of the things that were interesting to me! This morning we are dealing with wet carpeting. When we walked into the rig last night the carpet was all wet and the toilet was flushing continuously. Yuck! Luckily the holding tank was empty so it was clean water. The toilet has been giving us trouble for the last month, but we thought we had it working. Guess not. It flushed so many times that it filled the holding tank (40 gallons) and then just spilled over onto the floor. The neighbors noticed the water runnng out under the door and turned the water off, but we were pretty wet. Its kind of a sauna this morning as we try to get dried out. Ooops. No photos of this event! Marc--the toy you gave Gene for Christmas made it to the Smithsonian! Evidently the Wright Brothers didn't invent it--someone gave them one as a gift when they were kids and it influenced their work. Cool. Gene has flown it inside the rig, but we need an open space to get the full effect!
