Once we reached Metro Center, we decided to split up briefly. Vick went to Macy's, which was close by and I popped back to the hotel, which was just around the corner.

On the basis that the International Spy Museum was one of the few attractions actually open during the Government shutdown, we expected it be popular.

We hung on until just after 8pm last night, so a small improvement on our first evening in DC. I can't say that my hour of waking moved on much if at all, but the Vickster did significantly better than I did.

After the disappointment of the Washington Monument, but the warming outcome of another visit to Starbucks, we headed back to the hotel to consider our options.

We were looking forward to our trip up the Washington Monument. We had booked our tickets 30 days ahead and secured a visit at 10am.
