More fresh snow fell overnight. How beautiful! We took some pictures and then walked around for a while. Found an old lighthouse that had been built in 1857. Then we took a bus to the Metro station and rode the subway to Washington. We wandered around until we found the marina and the yacht club. They both charge $1 a foot, but of course the yacht club has nicer facilities. Nevertheless, since we're so comfortable where we are and can get to Washington so easily, we might as well stay where we are.
Walked past the Washington Monument to the Holocaust Museum. Ate a good lunch in the cafeteria there. Walked around in the museum, but there wasn't much to see, so we went over to the Smithsonian. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that there is no admission charge at any of the Smithsonian's sixteen museums. We spent the rest of the after-
noon in the Arts and Industries museum, which had a lot of interesting machines and tools from the 19th century.
When we got back to the boat, Roy checked the batteries and found that two of them might need to be replaced. He's going to recharge all three tonight and recheck them in the morning.
