November, 2010 was a great time to visit our nation's Capital. The last time I had visited Washington D.C was April, 1970. Things have changed quite a bit and a lot has happened since then. The Metro mass transit system was under construction at the time. Today it provides service from Reagan International Airport to Silver Springs, Maryland, and from the District of Columbia to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The Capitol is still a site to behold. Although the number of visitors had diminshed from a hectic and warm summer, there were still many families taking long weekend trips and scores of school groups touring all over Washington--another generation of Americans to learn about our history and our government.
