Jeff and I had a wonderful time in D.C.! I remind myself every time we go somewhere that traveling is such a luxury, and we feel so privileged to be able to do it as often as we do! Seeing the world and all its history is so important to us!
Our hotel (The River Inn) was in historic Georgetown, an elegant neighborhood just walking distance from the monuments and White House/downtown. We LOVED this hotel. It was also only a couple blocks from the metro, which we took everywhere when we weren't walking. One thing we both loved about D.C. was how clean the city is, how easy it is to get around, and the neighborhoods near downtown are fabulous. Impressive for such a big city.
Things we saw: Holocaust Museum, all of the monuments (so many!), National Gallery of Art (containing hundreds of famous paintings!), Smithsonian museums, Arlington Cemetery (where white grave stones go on as far as you can see), White House (including a press conference going on in FRONT of it with the prez), Ford Theater where Lincoln was shot, John Edwards :-), Embassy Row...and the list goes on. We discovered some fun restaurants in our neighborhood of Georgetown, but also ventured into the "hip" and young neighborhood known for its nightlife, called Adams Morgan. Ate everything from scrumptious homemade pasta to some unique Latin-American food.
What a great little East Coast adventure we had.
