On Tuesday, I woke up and went to see Senator John Cornyn at his weekly Tuesday coffee with constituents. After so many turn into and out of parking lots because of the lack of permit, I finally parked at the Union Station public parking and walk three blocked to the Hart Senate Office Building. Got in the wrong entrance and was sent off to the correct one. By the time I got to his office half an hour late, he has gone on to the Armed Services Committee that morning. Talked to his staffs, left him a note and then went back to the hotel. Guess I'll have to wait and see him at the state convention in a little over three weeks in San Antonio. JC, Binh and I checked out of the hotel and went to the WWI memorial, which was just dedicated two weeks earlier. I really liked what I saw. Binh taught me the 2/3 rule of photography while we were taking pictures there. Then we went to the International Spy Museum. The cost was a little stiff, $13 per person and it's not all that impressive inside. I would say anything more than $3 per person is a waste of money.

I then dropped off JC and Binh at Reagan National before heading to Baltimore myself. A couple of the DC native have told me that to stay on the safe side, I should give it a couple hours for that stretch of about 30 miles between DC and Baltimore. There wasn't all that much of traffic so I got to BWI a little early but time went by fast. Returned the rental car and took the shuttle to the terminals. The flight took off on time. We were originally going to fly over Arkansas and approach DFW from the East but because of the storms, we were re-routed to fly over Oklahoma and approach from the North. It was a smooth landing. I dozed off and didn't wake up until after the plane has landed.
