The family took a road trip to Washington DC in early January. Heather and Mark had a math conference to attend, but that didn't keep us from working in a bit of sight-seeing.
Not surprisingly, the Smithsonian museums were highlights.
Here Emmett poses with C-3PO, from the Star Wars movies, at the National Museum of American History.
(Also visible is a Dale Earnhardt racing helmet, and a snare drum autographed by Tito Puente; not to be confused with one of Mark's childhood heroes, baseball player Tito Fuentes.)
