I missed the excellent Euro meet, but I don't mind because I was in Washington (State, non D.C.) for three weeks vacation at the time. I thought I'd share some of the photos I took while I was there:

Washington sure is a beautiful (and big) place.

P.S. for those who are interested, I added an EF 17-40mm f/4.0 and EF 75-300 IS to my 10D and EF 24-85mm while I was there. I love my new lenses...
