Washington DC

Washington DC
Washington DC

17th – 21st August 2007
DC is such a beautiful, clean and welcoming city!
The buildings are honestly breathtaking. The size and detail of the buildings are beyond description and the photos we took really do nothing for them... I was in heaven. Washington DC is such a good holiday destination too because just about everything is free.
We booked the cheapest possible hotel (Hotel Washington) that ended up to be this huge Victorian gem right across the road from the white house. It was a prime location and walking distance to all the attractions.
We had four very relaxing days in DC along with catching up on a lot of sleep we visited sights such as...
• The Smithsonian Museums (Air & Space, Natural History and Natural Archives.) We saw the real declaration of independence/ Think National treasure.
• Washington Monument (Free to go up... however it meant lining up at 7am to get tickets when the window opened at 8:30)
• Lincoln memorial
• Capital Building
• WW2 Memorial
• White House
We even squeezed in a Baseball game (NY Mets Vs Washington Nationals)
I guess as the old saying goes “A picture says 1000 words” Check out our DC experience on this link.
