Yesterday was day 3 & our final day in the DC. area. We visited Mt. Vernon, MLK Jr. Memorial, FDR Memorial, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Museum & ended at Dave & Busters before heading home. We had a whirlwind of a few days but saw so much!
Second day in D.C. yesterday did not disappoint! Our group got to see the presidential motorcade leave the White House, the inside of the White House, WWII Memorial, Capital Building, Library of Congress, the Constitution & Declaration of Independence at the Archives & a ghost tour in Alexandria! We are exhausted, but it's so worth it!
Fantastic, busy first day in D.C.! We
visited the 9/11 Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, Iwo Jima Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean Memorial & the Vietnam Memorial. And now we are off to the White House & more today!
