Well...this isn't about trains...per se...but it is worth blowing the whistle and ringing the bell on. The youngest of our two daughters called us last night and announced her engagement to her boyfriend of 3 years. He took her out to dinner...gave her some roses...got down on his knee with a ring...and popped the question. No date set yet. They both work for the FBI and live in Washington, DC (although our family are Californians). So...two down one to go. Our oldest is married and we have two granddaughters. Our youngest...our son...is the last one. He is a junior at UCLA.
The second part is train-related. We are leaving for Washington, DC, tomorrow to visit the two lovebirds for a week. We are also attending our daughter's Master's Degree graduation there. We've been to DC before and know all of the patriotic sights. Are there any train-related things to see there...or any train hobby shops? Matt
