Final Four

Great trip last long-weekend to Washington DC for the NCAA hockey Final Four. A super fine place to visit, already getting busy for the season.

Always good tourist stuff. New sites for us included the National Museum of the American Indian, Renwick, Nat'l Portrait Gallery, American Art Museum, Nat'l Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, WWII Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Supreme Court. Personal tour of the Capitol was a highlight. Courtesy of NH Senator Judd Gregg. Constituents George and Maggie got us in, so we got to ride the little train between the senate building and the capitol. All the memorials are very well done, much deserved and much appreciated.

Very well done Bas-reliefs at the WWII Memorial.

Number one seed Boston University was lucky to win it all. Facing UNH (ranked 10) then UVM (#9) then Miami (#13) in the final. Won each of these last three games by 1 point. The final was the best ever, unless you're a Miami of Ohio fan. Down 3-1 with three minutes left, BU pulled their goalie. They finally went 3-2 with :59 left and then quickly backed that up to 3-3 with :17 left. Won in OT. Whew.

Capitols may not win much, but they have a great scoreboard!
