One of the perks of our RV park?
It’s just a few minutes away from a Metro stop.
And who doesn’t love mass transportation???
After a ride to L’Enfant station
(And Mom and I feeling pretty proud of ourselves for navigating the Metro),
We headed for the Mall.
Our first stop:
The Washington Memorial.
We were hoping to head to the top
But we ended up with tickets for tomorrow
But we couldn’t resist a few pictures of our first monument of the day!
Next up:
The World War II Memorial.
It was impressive and humbling.
We strolled around the Reflecting Pool
And eventually made it to the Lincoln Memorial
Say hello to Abe!
This seems like a good spot to get a good family picture.
We walked over to see the White House.
They cleared Pennsylvania Avenue while we were there
So we hung out to see what the fuss was about.
No one appeared, no explanation.
We were disappointed.
It is a bit smaller than you would expect.
We toured Ford’s Theater.
It was a little spooky, walking through Lincoln’s final moments
And reading all the history.
By now, we were pretty hungry
So we headed into the city for some lunch
We were going to try out a sushi conveyer belt restaurant for Wes,
But a brewery caught everyone’s attention
And we decided to save that for another day.
On our way back to the Mall,
We passed through the Sculpture Garden
And made a few friends
And struck a few poses
Look at all those food trucks…
There must be HUNDREDS!
But we had places to be—
We scored tickets to the Air and Space Museum!
It was under renovation but there were still quite a few exhibits.
We checked out the massive Wright Brothers exhibit
And all the spacecraft
It was pretty cool.
We didn’t get any pictures but the history of commercial flight
Was actually really interesting.
It was Mom and I’s favorite exhibit.
After a full day of begging,
Mom and Dad finally relented and let us get some boba tea from a food truck.
I was brave enough to walk up first.
We decided to try one before we bought 4…
And it was a good thing we did.
It was like $12 a glass and NOT good.
It entertained us as we walked to the Wharf for some dinner…
And BETTER boba tea.
Guess how far we’ve walked today?
Nearly 12 miles.
And we aren’t done yet…
