Yes...the word is out....some retailers are trying to get an earlier jump on the normal holiday shopping season. Now, not everyone is hopping on the band wagon. Nordstrom is sticking to their usual plans and offering customers addition saving on Black Friday. However- Wal- Mart, Toys R US, and Target will be opened longer on Thanksgiving and even roll out
some of the usual black Friday deals that day (on Turkey Day). Sounds like a shopping
frenzy is on the way... and maybe a few good deals will be found! We hope you have a fabulous week in Washington, DC -be
sure to check back with us later for more news, tips, and discoveries!

Polar Bear Migration
Today we're going to take you on a little journey to the north. Actually...it's way, way north! Did you know that polar bears go through an annual migration in Canada? It happens right near one small town of Churchill, Manitoba. In
fact, every year, this little town of only 800 residents experiences more
than one thousand bears on their journey for food. Polar bears make their way
near Churchill while making way towards their feeding grounds on the ice covered
Hudson Bay. Their main diet of seals (high protein and fat), allows them to
build up the necessary layer of 4.5 inches of fur, hide, and blubber to survive
the cold winters. What an amazing animal.
Have a wonderful day in Washington, DC!

Don't Miss This Solar Eclipse!
You’ll have a chance to experience a partial solar eclipse over much of the eastern United States if you awaken early tomorrow morning. It should begin to take place around 6:30 a.m. and, it can be seen as far west as eastern Ohio, eastern Kentucky, eastern Tennessee and most of Georgia. Remember to do a little research on the internet on viewing the eclipse safely. For those of you not located in the viewing areas, you should also be able to see live streaming video on-line at space.com. These are pretty rare occurrences so..enjoy yourself because- the next viewing for a solar eclipse in our country won’t happen until August 21, 2017.

Washington Monument Trivia
We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Thanks
for stopping by to check out our blog- where you can find helpful info, news,
and maybe a few new discoveries about the Washington, DC area. Here are a
couple of facts about the Washington Monument:
There are 898 steps to the top of the monument,
and 193 memorial
stones line the inside of the monument as gifts from the 50 states and
many foreign governments. The steps are closed to the public, who instead utilize an elevator. The elevator in the monument moves at a blinding speed of 500 feet in slightly under 70 seconds. Whoosh!
