So this is what cold feels like. Woke up to 21 degrees. Sounds fine except that’s Fahrenheit. Minus 6. Minus 13 with wind chill. Cool.
First stop was Georgetown via some interesting looking suburbs of Washington while we could get there by the Bug Bus (Hop-on-hop-off). After a stroll around we headed back to downtown where we had a lunch of soup and chili, then Madame Taussards.
We then split up with the girls going to the Whitehouse, while the boys went on a photo shoot of some of the areas we hadn’t been able to get to from the bus. First set of locations was the whitehouse from as many angles as possible, then up to the Washington Memorial.
From here we caught the Big Bus back to Arlington via the Pentagon (No photos worth publishing of the Pentagon – it looks like a jail.) and past the Iwo Jima Marine Corps Memorial on our walk back to the hotel. This is one of the more impressive memorials we’ve seen.
An earlier arrival back at the hotel where we can get some well deserved rest.
And a sidenote: Lauren got her HSC results today. Brilliant! A well deserved set of results for 13 years of hard work.
Congrats Lauren on getting your HSC results!
Also nice Photos of all the main sights in D.C. hopefully your keeping warm enough, and rest up before hitting NYC the city that never sleeps 🌃
Congratulations, Lauren!
What?! The Pentagon is an awesome building. Makes me gasp every time I see it – and I used to live down the road and saw it daily. 😉 Your photos are making me very nostalgic and ‘homesick’.
Imagine finding out your HSC results while travelling the US!? What a memory, congratulations Lauren!
