NYC and DC

NYC! 
 
We stayed up by Washington Heights, so we spent a lot of time bicycling on the Hudson.  The path along there is great!

We went onto the USS Intrepid, which was totally worth the wait.  Even Noelle admitted it was cool.

 
We went for a walk on the High-Line, an old elevated railway line converted into an urban "trail".
 
Went for FREE kayaking in the Hudson with our friends Chris Chan and Valarie


 Checked out the new 9/11 memorial.
We caught a Giants game at Finnerty's, an SF sports bay in NYC.
Had a lot of fun getting drinks on a rooftop bar.
Somewhere in the mix, I even managed to get lunch with my former co-worker, Timor.  Didn't get any pictures of him sadly... asking him for his picture would have been weird.  :P


 On our way to DC we drove through beautiful and quaint Chestertown, MD.  Noelle bought a violin there!
 We had a field day on the mall.  We were driven out of the Smithsonian Natural History museum by 1 million screaming children.  (I exaggerate)

We went onto my favorite museum, the Hershorn Museum of Modern Art and Sculpture Garden.



Noelle was impressed with the omission of screaming children!


I interpret a life-like sculpture of a horse-sized great dane.


 I love sushi buffet in Arlington!

 Great to catch up with my old friends!  Dan and Angela, why didn't we get pictures!  Pete and Jeanette, see you in SF!
