Day 6

For our last day we decided to cram in as much of the want to do list as possible. We Got up bright and early and started with the standby line for the Holocaust Museum. That took a couple of hours but we were able to get tickets!
 Next we headed next door to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. We had grabbed tickets early so it worked out perfectly.  It's really cool go watch them print money. We find it interesting. It's not a super long tour which helps too. Since we were in the neighborhood we went to the Holocaust Museum cafeteria for lunch. It was a good lunch but not cheap. Of course nothing in DC really is. Super convienient. We went from lunch right to our time for the museum.
 The Holocaust Museum took quite a few hours to see. There are always lots of people and students especially but it's still such a good exhibit. After we went through the museum we spent a few more hours at the Smithsonian. I think we managed to fit everything in that everyone was interested in seeing there. Well maybe that's impossible but we made a great dent in it. We decided to head to the GW store for the last hour before our dinner reservation. It was a great way to dodge the  rain too.
 After we got us and Jeff & Rachel some shirts we had a quick rest in the lounge before dinner. We had reservation at Founding Farmers for our last dinner together in DC. We were seated at a table with very little room for all of us and no backs to our chairs. Megan was a trooper and put up with it better than I did lol. It wasn't the best time we've ever had there but it was still fun. After dinner Rachel had scored us some free tickets to the Nationals baseball game if we wanted to go. Most of us were thrilled. It was misting and raining pretty good so it was a little concerning to see people pouring out of the stadium as we pulled up. We arrived rather late but because of the weather that was no problem.
 The seats were close enough to the cover that some of us ran for it but Rachel and Megan & Hayden stayed right out there and embraced it.
It wasn't pouring the whole time and it was easy to get into the game. It wasn't too long though before it was over. We ducked into the team store as fast as we could because we wanted to do a little souvenir shopping. Don't think the employees were too happy with us but we had some shopping to do! So really that was the end of our trip. The next day we headed to the airport and were on our way home before we knew it! We always hate leaving Jeff & Rachel but we know we will return.

And then before we knew it Hayden & Megan were on their way to Nebraska for another summer sales adventure. This time it was only 6 weeks.
 Somebody is having too much fun with the camera!
