#1 Very good museum, make sure you budget at least four hours if you're like me and stop to read every freakin' sign. Buy advance tix and if you go with a big group, be prepared to wait in the excellent gift shop for the stragglers to dift out.

They have the umbrella (or a model of it???) that the Soviets used to kill Georgi Markov by jabbing a ricin pellet into his thigh on a crowded bridge, a nice section on George Washington, spymaster; and lots of cool spy stuff.

sounds way kool Sea, but the intel I picked up from reading your comment is to NEVER go shopping with you!

Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
