Tang had an AACR meeting in Washington, DC, so our whole family went there together, just for some sightseeing. It's beautiful spring time in DC, and cherry flowers are blossoming, especially around the Tidal Basin near the Nathional Mall. Unfortunately, my sons enjoyed neither the sightseeing, nor the museums. Their sole interest is to ride the train. We bought the daily subway pass, and their only goal is to ride on the subway, all day long if possible, preferably running above the ground. Nevertheless, they do like running in the National Zoo (free admission!).

Columbus Zoo is one of my sons' favorite hangout places (Highbank park is another one). Not for the animals, but for various rides - a small train ride, the merry-go-round, boat ride, and the fun playground. We might see the fishes, or watch the manatee swimming inside the room when it's cold, but their interests are definetely not in here. Usually we go there in the morning, and come back around 1-2 pm, just right for an afternoon nap.
