Washington DC Trip - Day 1: Spies, Planes, and Oysters

Theresa and I decided to go see the National Cherry Blossom festival in Washington DC and we got a really good deal on airline tix and hotel. Our first full day was all about museums though

The International Spy Museum was way cool, but unfortunately, no photography is allowed inside, so we only have an exterior shot. All sorts of real spy gear was on display and you got to practice some spy skills yourself in the interactive exhibits.

We stopped for late lunch at Zaytinya, a Jose Andres restaurant specializing in Greek and Mediterranean tapas. We devoured the dishes as we were really hungry at that point.

We then headed to my favorite museum, The National Air and Space Museum. Large planes and rockets everywhere.... Definitely a museum geared toward boys and men. What is not to love about that?

Night soon fell and we headed towards Hank's Oyster Bar where Theresa tried raw oysters for the first time, and afterward wanted to order a dozen more. While we had to wait a bit, it was well worth it as we filled our bellies with fresh seafood. Yum...
