Thursday 3rd October

I forgot to put this one in the other day. Luke bought this after the flight to the Grand Canyon which is part of a Native American reservation.

 I wondered what he did after Seinfeld finished.

 No Kate, we are still on holidays. 

Tickets to tonight's ice hockey game between the Washington Capitals and the Calgary Flames. You step out of the Metro Rail station and walk right into the Verizon Stadium.

 Today we visited the Crime and Punishment museum which was excellent.

 The real 'Catch Me If You Can' guy.

The kids got to print-off their fingerprints and it created a crime for them. Obviously, Kate wasn't too happy with her crime.

 The guy second from the right.

 Something all parents want. Then again, maybe not.

 This is a replica of the prison cell of Al Capone.

 I found this quite shocking.

 A heat detecting image.

Luke and I couldn't resist.

 I kept telling Anastasia that CSI was a load of #@%&.

 The real set of the TV show America's Most wanted.

 A face check.

Luke and Kate decided to combine their money and purchase this. It alters your voice in several different ways. Just what everyone needs. They used it walking the streets of Washington.

We practically walked straight out of the Crime and Punishment museum and witnessed the following.

 We arrived just after the car chase and shooting. I knew something was up from the very first siren I heard.

 Back to sightseeing. The Capitol building.

 Question: Can anyone look cool on a Segway? Luke and I believe the answer is a big NO!

Pennsylvania Avenue

 That's right Jen, more clam chowder.

 The Washington Capitals' mascot is an eagle.

 The 'puck drop' which starts the game.

 Every game must have a fight. The referees just let them go for it.

 Washington was down 3-0 but came back, and it was 4-4 at full time. They did unleash their fury!

 A power play occurs when a team is penalised and they go down a player for 2 minutes.

 I captured a goal being scored by 'our' team.

 The sign in the middle shows the results of a decibel counter. The crowd is encouraged to raise the decibels regularly.

 A group hug.

 The game went into overtime as the scores were locked at full time.

Then it went to a penalty shootout as extra time was scoreless.

 We won!

 Man of the match was the captain and Russian superstar Alex Ovechkin.

The Capitals have two new fans.
