Yes.. I didn't take my camera (on purpose) but Ken had a whack load of pictures, I told Ken I was going to steal them, and claim them as my own since I was there too when they were being taken :) as soon as he gets them to me I'll be posting them up.. got some great shots in the Museam of Natural History, and in the Air and Space Museam.... I am actually quite surprised by how small some of those planes and jets are... but it was awesome none the less..

I interjected with ... and filled with white cream?

Ouch, burn. Glad you had a good time....if it had been me, I would have just "accidently" spilled something on the dresses of various girls...
