D.C. TRIP #1

I really should label this: Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

We started our adventure driving to Memphis. Flying to Atlanta, then D.C (via Washington Dullos). Taking a bus (Washington Flyer) to the first available Metro (West Churchill Falls). Then, taking the Metro/Train to Dupont Circle (where our hotel was located) with a few line changes. This all with 3 suitcases, 3 carryon bags, and a baby in a stroller......Doesn't it sound like fun already?!

This was David & Drew's first trip to our nation's capital (& capitol...lol). Enjoy some of our adventures....during of course one of the rainiest weeks on record for d.c.



We took the Metro everywhere. While my (kk) least favorite public transit train system in the US, we were happy to not have bother renting a car.

We saw all the typical sites (memorials along the mall, smithsonians, and museums).



Here is Drew hanging out with Jefferson.


Chilling at the National Cathedral.



We also saw a few new things (to even me). For example: Chinatown...small but very vibrant.


National Aquarium... very small, but perfect for Drew. He loved trying to touch all the brightly colored fish.


We even saw a clown fish that could have been Nemo!!


Then, I was almost attacked by a shark!! Oh my!!


Speaking of close encounters, David & Drew barely survived meeting a T-rex.

But at the end of it all......."HOPE" won out & we "weathered" our trip just fine.


Speaking of "Hope, we can believe in!" Here's to Election 2032!!
