Day 26: Friday in Washington

Out last day in Washington, so lets try to wrap up all the things we haven’t made it to yet.

Smithsonian Air and Space. So much to see and do.

Life size replica of Voyager. Looks so flimsy.

Wright Bros plane.

Replica of Hubble Space Telescope

Next was playing in the frozen water feature…

then on to the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian.

We managed to fit in the Spy Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, before getting more culture, this time in the form of the Ballet. Nutcracker, performed by the Washington Ballet. A big highlight for Lauren.

Finally ‘home’ to Arlington. Did I mention previously that Rosslyn Metro station at Arlington has one of the largest escalators you’ll ever see.

Big day. We must be getting used to the cold. The maximum today was -2 and we didn’t feel it was cold! It snowed a bit, but no wind!

Washington: Amazing city. So much to see and do. So much free stuff. Metro system A+. Time to move on tomorrow.

    Could not agree more, Washington was also one of our favourite places. Although I managed to avoid the “arty” bit and spent more time in the American History and NASA buildings.
    Congratulations to Lauren on her HSC results.
