TWO MORE DAYS TOURING DC

Yes our days started at 6 AM. A quick breakfast in the motor home. Catch the bus at 7:40 to the Metro train station. Then a 30 minute train ride into DC.
This day was a photo op day. A camera shot from the fence of the White House. Note the two black spots on the roof...security on duty. No we didn't get a tour of the White. 20,000 people apply in advance a day...2000 get a tour.
We did email our congressman & got a tour of the Capitol building this morning. Disappointed in how little we got to see. The Library of Congress right next to the Capitol building was a better tour. Another good stop was to the old DC Post Office where you ride up to the Bell Tower on the top floor. The view from the top is just like looking out of an airplane.

Really did enjoy the Transportation Museum. This is a 1935 Ford Truck like my day had. Early, early in my life I was driving dad's truck in the hay fields on the farm.
Well we did get to cover a lot in DC but no way did we do it all. So glad we came this week. No way were we prepared for all the middle school kids touring the city...they did there thing and we did ours.
Cherry Hill told us the best stop for lunch was in the Agricultural Building where we ate twice.
By 3PM each day we were ready to start our trip back to the RV Parks.
A Southern Bell from Alabama. One of a group that took part in the parade.
"Charles D Schoepelin" one of many that paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Viet Nam War. We paid our respects by visiting the Viet Nam War Memorial. Charles was the husband to our close friend & traveling companion: Terrie Massie.


Good bye Washington. On to Nappanee Indiana
