Tired

To say that both Michelle and I are tired and worn out from yesterday is a bit of an understatement. Both of our feet are worn and tired as we did everything on foot yesterday from Metro Central.

We started out by going to see the White House. We saw both the front and back and the parks on both sides. We saw the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial where we ran into Michelle's niece Abby as she was there on a school field trip. We saw the reflecting pool and the Korean War memorial, we tried to visit the Tidal Basin and see the Cherry Blossoms but they had not bloomed yet so we were out of luck.

We visited the World War II Memorial and walked by the Washington Monument, but it has been closed due to structural damage it suffered from the earth quake a few years ago.

We got tickets and attempted to go to the Holocaust Museum, but our tickets were for four hours later, so we decided to move on and try to return if we were near there around that time. It's something we would like to both see, but that will have to be the next trip here before we can do that.

We did make it to a couple of the Smithsonian's Museums. The Museum of American History and the Museum of Natural history. Both places were very fascinating, but by late afternoon we were both getting a little bit tired and decided to go back to Metro Central and ride the train back out to Shady Grove.

It was a full day, I told Michelle we will have to come down a few more times as there is just too much to see in one day. We could have taken a tour bus, but we wanted to be there and experience it rather than just drive by it.

We'll be heading back home later this morning and are talking about stopping by the outlets in Hagerstown first, but we'll have to see how she feels first.

Have a great day.
