We toured Virginia and Washington DC over the holiday's. We visited lots of cool places like the Capitol building and a spy museum in Washington. When we returned we learned that our dog of 11 years is very sick and needs surgery to remove a massive stone in her bladder. Shadow has been in our videos many times so I wanted the regular watches to know. She will be going into surgery this Friday in an attempt to remove the blockage. I will keep you updated on her progress.

International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. - VOA Story
The International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. has become one the city's most popular tourist attractions. Three and a half million visitors have passed through its doors since it opened in 2002. Exhibits here feature poison pens, umbrella guns, high tech surveillance gear, and other tools of the spy trade. VOA's George Dwyer reports on one of the world's most intriguing museums - an institution that cautions visitors: All is not as it seems.
It is no secret - Washington, D.C.'s International Spy Museum has become one of the city's most popular tourist attractions.
We are, as far as we know, the only International Spy Museum in the world, says Peter Earnest, the founding executive director of the Museum and a 35-year veteran of the CIA. [U.S. Central Intelligence Agency]. We have actually exceeded our own expectations. And I think you can attribute that to a couple of things. One, people inherently like to learn secrets, things that have been secrets and now are uncovered.
The Museum features the largest collection of espionage artifacts ever publicly displayed, including miniaturized surveillance devices, or bugs, designed to avoid detection.
So this is a museum about secrets. It is very story-driven. We tell the stories of people who have been in espionage, what they did, what they sacrificed; try and give a sense of what they gained. Was it worth what they did?
The historic roots of the spy trade are traced back as far as a copy of The Art of War, a Chinese military text written 2,500 years ago. Items that were once top secret are now available for public inspection. And while none of today's top secrets are shared here, the museum does still strive to remain contemporary.
And so this is what this experience really is all about. You know you walk through here and you pick up bits and pieces of intelligence, says museum historian Thomas Boghardt. He describes the challenges posed to visitors in an interactive exhibit called 'Operation Spy,' where they will a track a stolen nuclear device at a model CIA 'front' operation. Boghardt adds, And the better you are the more information you will get and, as I said, that is really what 'Operation Spy' is all about. You gather information as you go and then you determine, 'What action can I take?'
Of course, then there is also the issue of counter-espionage.
Earnest says, As you know one person's patriot may be another person's traitor, but what really was the motivation, what was the ideology? And so trying to find out secrets and the stories behind them is part of what drives people here.
Searching for secrets through espionage continues today. And according to the Spy Museum, more spies are now at work in Washington, D.C. than in any other city in the world.
New International Spy Museum at L' Enfant Plaza
The International Spy Museum is pleased to announce the construction of a new permanent home in Southwest Washington, DC. The landmark building will be a permanent cultural resource at L’Enfant Plaza in the nation’s capital when it is completed in fall 2018.
At 140,000 square feet, the new Museum will provide more than double the floor space of the existing building, at 800 F Street NW, and will include new resources for educational programming, a lecture hall/theater, and multifunction event space with sweeping views of DC.
The Malrite Company and JBG collaborated extensively on plans for the new facility, which will sit directly in front of the glass atrium on the Plaza.
Renowned London-based architects Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners created a design for the iconic building that will have a distinct and dynamic identity.
Gallagher and Associates is the museum exhibition designer. Washington-based Hickok Cole Architects is the architect of record for the project.

Washington DC Museums and Monuments
A tour of the monuments and memorials of the US' National Mall starting with the National Museum of the American Indian - March 2009
Capitol Hill
We are going to Washington, D.C.
The majestic city of Washington, which is the capital of the United States, does not belong to any state of the country, but is a separate administrative unit called the District of Columbia (DC or just the District of Columbia).
The city was founded in 1791 and named after George Washington, the first US president. Of course, tourists are associated primarily with the famous White House, which is open to visitors. However, this is not the only interesting place in Washington.
In this city of white marble there are many majestic monuments, many museums, beautiful parks and picturesque ponds, as well as entertainment centers, fashionable restaurants and fashionable hotels. Moreover, according to American standards, Washington is a relatively small city, but at the same time it has monumental grandeur, a calm atmosphere and unshakable stability.

NAVIGATION
-Apple Maps on our iPhones did a great job helping us navigate (bring a portable charger as heavy GPS will drain your battery considerably!). However, we found multiple instances where the app led us correctly as the crow flies but not necessarily in consideration of barriers or street crossing challenges. The Newseum was one example of this where we had to stop and ask for directions. The Five Guys closest to the Newseum is in an underground food court and Apple Maps did not alert us of the different elevation.
FOOD TIPS
-Food trucks surround the National Mall and there are multiple fast food restaurants just blocks from the main attractions and within walking distance. We recommend families pack lunches as purchased food expenses can add up quickly! Food is quite expensive in most of the museums.
***Attractions where food cannot be brought in (not even in your bag): Capitol Building
**Attractions where food must be sealed and closed: Smithsonian Museums (excluding the National Zoo, where there are no restrictions),
*Attractions where consuming outside food is prohibited but it is unclear whether it can remain stored in a bag: Newseum,
*Attractions where there are no restrictions on food: Smithsonian National Zoo (no alcohol and trash must be properly disposed of)
