Day 2

Well today was another day of extensive walking!! Saw some great sights, and the crowds are getting bigger every hour.  Spent most of the day in the American History museum. The cafeteria on the lower level was pretty impressive.  We had a night tour of the monuments by bike that was cancelled due to storms.  We were eating at the food court in Union Station during the storm and didn't know it was raining.  We get to reschedule the tour or get a refund. As we were walking back to hotel, saw tree limbs down in the streets and newspaper machines blown over.  It was the top story on local news. Weather was so nice after storm went through.  Tomorrow should be a big day, crowds expected to be 800,000-1,000,000 people!
Dramatic reading of the Declaration of Independence at the National Archives followed by the National parade.  Hope the weather holds.
