Washington DC
Road Trip to Florida
The purpose of our going to Washington DC was for our neice's wedding.
But little did we relealize the impact it would have on us.
We stayed at Pohick Campground, while our relatives stayed in hotels in the Old Town Alexandria area.
We had a wonderful time, taking the metro into the capital area, by the Smithsonian Institute.
Our goal was to go to the top of the Washington Monument.
When we exited the Metro, we could see the Washington Monument in the distance, and headed that way.
We walked all the way to the Lincoln Memorial, after checking out the WW2 Memorial.
We then headed back toward the metro station via Pennsylvania Ave, and turned to go see the White House. What you see in the picture is as close as anyone can get.
We stopped to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe, then walked back over to the metro station. By this time it was dark out.
We had a great time touring Washington DC, and if you have never been there, you must go. Honestly, in my opinion Washington DC is the cleanest city I have ever been in.
