A Non-Shopping Mall and Boo at the Zoo

October 24, 2010 Not too long after the proverbial 11am time slot we managed to stick our necks out of the apartment. Having learnt a few lessons yesterday we let the car rest. Today’s goal was the National Mall area, which is a monument lovers equivalent to a pub walk. read more…
