DC will be beautiful in the next few weeks. Spring and the Cherry Blossom Festival.
Please come visit. FReep with us and also see the tourist sites.
Smithsonian's vast array of Museums (Air and Space Museum is most popular and now has an extensive and amazing annex in nearby Virginia close to Dulles Airport), the Iwo Jima Memorial, Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln Monuments, the Vietnam and WWII Memorials, Arlington National Cemetery, and the International Spy Museum are among the more popular places to visit.
Spiff is from another state and is here on business, but still FReeps after working hard. We've also been honored to have FReepers join us from Texas, Colorado, Pennslyvania, California, and New Jersey, some who traveled to DC specifically to join us at the Walter Reed FReeps.

Join us and you can do good and have fun at the same time!
PS. And thanks for all the laughs that you've given us with your great graphics!
