Washington, DC

Blogger overload: This is the last post for today. I still have more to post, but I need more time.

While in Virginia we had a chance to go to DC for a day. On both coasts, we were not able to go to as many places as we had hoped to. We got a late start that day, and we did not arrive in DC until 1. We really wanted to go to the Holocaust Museum. We went there to get a ticket to return later (tickets are free, but you have to have a ticket to enter the true part of the museum and they have a time associated with it). We then went over to the Smithsonian American History Museum. We were there for maybe 90 minutes and then headed back to the Holocaust Museum. It was an eye opening experience to be in that museum. After we were done at the Holocaust Museum, we went to grab a bit to eat. We were planning to hit The Mall after dinner, but during dinner, it started to POUR! We raced to the metro and headed back to Virginia. So our day in DC consisted of lots of walking back and forth, the Holocaust Museum and a little bit of American History. It was still a good day.
