A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a trip report where my family toured Washington, DC.
I have A New Hope that The Force Awakens long enough for me to finish this report!

**********************************************************************************
When we finished our tour at the Capitol Building, we had time for one more museum before returning to our hotel, getting some lunch and heading to the airport for our afternoon flight home.
We walked down Museum Row.
Here’s the US Botanic Gardens.
Nope, we didn’t stop here.
Sorry,
@luvpoohandcompany and
@rteetz.
We stopped before reaching the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
Not this time,
@Wood Nymph and
@annie170
Our destination, as
@bookgirl will be happy to see, was the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.
Yes, my friends. MORE planes and spacecraft!!!
Apollo-Soyuz
Hubble?

Questions for the Final Update:
The boys returned to the food court for lunch. I went across the street and got takeout from Roti, a Mediterranean, design your own plate place.
You pick a meal (sandwich, rice plate or salad), a base (protein or vegetable) and then a total of 3 sides/toppings/sauces.
Here is your challenge- design my meal.
10 points for each correct guess for 1) meal 2) base and 3) sides/toppings (pick 3) for a possible total of 50 points.
What is our step count for the day?
Walk to breakfast at food court, walk to Metro to US Capitol, tour Capitol, walk 4 blocks to Air & Space Museum, tour museum, 10 blocks to Hotel then we take a cab to airport, plane flight, arrive home.
These were our step counts from the previous days:
Monday 24,026
Tuesday 26,978
Wednesday 18, 878
At the beginning of the report, I asked you all to make a guess at how many family photos (all 4 of us) we got on this trip for 10 points. Hint: it was less than the number of family photos on our previous Washington DC trip in 2010.
Here were your guesses:
Wood Nymph: 0
afwdwfan: 0
pas130: 1
hill6: 1
annie170: 2
luvpoohandcompany: 3
SarahDisney: 3
rteetz: 4
One or more of you guessed correctly.
Stick with your guess and if it is right, you get 10 points. If you are very confident in your prediction, double down and you get 20 points! But if you double down and are wrong, I will deduct 5 points from your total score. If you want to change your guess, I will allow that, but you will only get 5 points if you guess the right one.
Confused?
How many family photos (all 4 of us) do we have from this trip?
Here is the current leaderboard, as of October 31, reflecting 15 points for bookgirl for guessing the Air & Space Museum:
rteetz: 195
luvpoohandcompany: 190
bookgirl: 180
SarahDisney: 150
annie170: 140
Wood Nymph: 125
afwdwfan: 50
pas130: 20
