Hey, I can see the vile building I work in from the entrance! Now I must go drink whiskey.

I've been there twice, once when I was about 16 and once again when I was in my late 30's. The first time I spent two whole days there while my parents and sister went all around DC and the second time I was visiting my (then) brother-in-law's family in NVA so I could only stay a few hours.  :(

I've been there a couple of times, though the last was probably when I was around 11 or 12 or so. The first time I was about 8.

I was there in 1988. I wanted to move in.

If the USS Enterprise had been there then you would have.

I worked near there a few years back.  Used to spend my lunch hours doing a slow intelluctual soak, one room one day, then next room the next...

Great place

The virtual tour looks a little strange, because not used to seeing it with no people...
