We then toured some of the in
teresting spots. There were several
taxis conducting these tours, and
for $2.50 they took you to most of
the places and let you out at each
to take a gander. We saw the Jef
ferson Memorial, the Potomac river,
Arlington Cemetery and the tonib
of the Unknown Soldier, the Lin
coln Memorial, and many of the
governmental buildings, including
the White House and the Capitol.
Oh yes, we also stopped at the old
Lee House, which is full of old fur
nil ure, rugs, paintings, household
goods of all kinds, showing what a
typical Virginia mansion looked
like. It was all there, including the
wine cellar, servants' quarters, and
even the crib the old mammy rock
ed the little kids in. V
We next went to the Smithsonian
Institute and the Museum of Natur
al History. We spent several hours
in this place, but didn't begin to
get around to see it all. We saw
Lindbergh's airplane, the Spirit of
St. Louis' and Wiley Post's plane,
the Winnie Mae. Barney Oldfield's
old racer was also an interesting
spot in the auto display. They had
all types of cars that you can im
agine from the time they were first
made. They even had the Pontiac
that has the transparent body; the
hood, fenders, top, etc. are made of
plastic and you can see all the met
al parts on the inside. Bob took a
shine to the dinosaurs (?). and they
really did make you stop and won
der. They are awfully big and some
of them had terrible looking teeth.
You can hardly name anything of
historical interest to the world that
isn't represented there. I would
sure like to come back here when
the war is over and spend more
time looking over that old stuff.
Bob just about walked my legs
off by midafternoon, and I was
ready to strike for home about 4 p.
m. I made the mistake of fooling
around too long while the bus was
loading up and got on after all the
seats had been taken, so I was

elected to stand up all the way
back to Norfolk, a distance of about
216 miles. It was a tough grind af
ter walking all day in Washington,
and I was sure glad when' the old
bus came to a stop in Norfolk It
was too late for a streetcar so I
had to take a taxi out to the camp
and finally got to bed at 2 a. m
Monday morning.
