Have you ever been to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. ?
Yes
If so was it a school trip or family trip ?
I lived in Washington DC and I worked in Washington DC for two different periods of time in my life. I have been to a few of the Smithsonian Museums on a number of occasions. My favorite was Air and Space but I went to American History most frequently because it was within 2 blocks of my job. We'd go there for lunch or ice cream sundaes. I also also went there on my senior trip when I lived on Long Island. I didn't like Natural History. I almost forgot, in the early 1970s I lived across the street from the National Zoo on Connecticut Ave which is owned by the Smithsonian. The elephants weren't too far in so I used to stop in sometimes on my way home from work just to see them.

"I guess we will have to agree to disagree"
Never say that. Try that in the P&OC forum. You'd be eaten alive.
Extra Credit Question:
What was the last "screw cap" you opened ?
Grape Jelly last night.
Today is:
National Duran Duran Appreciation Day
This must be something they voted for in Congress.

A suburb basher on the Nova Forum. One of those fools who thinks if you say something enough times you make it true. Only his version is if he keeps starting a new thread stating the same opinion over and over sooner or later he'll wear everyone else out and then I guess he thinks he's won. (not really sure exactly what it is he won, though, unless it's the Beating a Dead Horse award. I used to respond to his threads but after the first few I got bored with this tactic so now I just jump in long enough to point out that people disagree and then go on with my life.

Have you ever been to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.?
More times than I can count.
If so was it a school trip or family trip? Dates, meet-ups with friends, walks by myself to learn, appreciate, or even just clear my head amidst some art.

Bonus Question:

"I guess we will have to agree to disagree" .....At work when I argued bitterly about their new report protocol. IT said it's impossible and to let us go back to the old system. It's been a disaster and an embarrassment. I would hand my head in shame if I failed that miserably at my job.
Extra Credit Question:
What was the last "screw cap" you opened ? ....Some vitamin water at work last night.
