Only 1 DC location this trip- Ford's Theater

We had originally planned to do 2 other sites in DC, but couldn't find parking, so we only managed to get to one place Cooper really wanted to go to, Ford's Theater.  I hadn't been on the full tour, and it was really excellent- Good docent- knew her stuff.

There was also a stamp at Ford's Theater for the African American Civil War Memorial-  

Star Spangled Banner Stop at American Museum of History on the Mall in Washington DC

Stopped in quickly to secure this location

Washington Monument bookstore visit

There are 24 or more stamps in the Bookstore, and I was able to get two that I had not previously gotten-  Walked here from the Museum of Natural History Stop.  The monument itself is all shrouded while they make repairs and cracks from a recent large earthquake. 

Revisit to Rock Creek Park Nature Center, Washington DC

First stop in Metro DC was a revisit to Rock Creek Park Nature Center, so I could get one stamp that I was missing, it was there in good order. 

Navy Memorial, Washington DC

Last year, I stopped in here to get the stamp, but the building was under construction, or so they said-  this year, the stamp was there, out at the front desk.  Score! 

New DC stop- Department of the Interior Library

Found an on-street parking space here after a couple of tries, and dropped a quarter into the meter, and got these four stamps, which were in the library as they were supposed to be.  Had to sign in, go through airport security and get a visitor badge thingy. 

Revisit to Mary McCloud Bethune House NHS in DC

This was a planned stop to pick up what I thought was going to be several stamps that I missed last visit last year, but I only managed to get the one above.  There were three others that were supposed to be there, but the cranky, slow moving ranger person insisted they were not. 

I had to double park, so I didn't press the issue- and he was not in a very good mood.
