Wednesday - We left the hotel @ Virginia & drove 4 hours to Washington, DC (the US Capital). It was a very nerve-wracking experience (driving 75mph [120kph] in a 6-LANE Interstate Highway! And it's not like there wasn't any other cars, it was cars everywhere you turned! Thank God we didn't get into any accidents.After settling in the hotel, which is actually in Maryland (another state w/c is pretty close), we rode the Metro (subway station) to the center of Washington, DC. We went into the Museum of Natural History & we had a blast. "Dinosaurs," "Mammals," "Gems," etc. It was all in there. And we got to see the Capitol, the Washington Monument, & a lot more places we only saw on TV & the movies. We were all blown away!
We had dinner @ a Mexican restaurant with Les & Saralee's college friend who now lives in DC. By the way, there are a lot of honking and crazy here in DC, too (murag Cebu).
Thursday - We went on a tour around Washington (our tour guide's name was Jimmy, pretty cool guy). We got to see a lot more historical & famous places. I can't write everything so i'll let the pics speak for themselves. Some of the places we visited: Arlington Park, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Printing & Engraving (where they "make money," literally), and of course, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave (WHITE HOUSE)!

At least that's one thing that Washington DC has over Manila - the cars in the bumper to bumper traffic on the highways move! And fast!
You guys are fortunate to have seen DC by day - we only got to see it at night. Though it was really a great experience, specially for Ella, who got an immediate history lesson on American history and Phil-Am relations. We went to the World War II memorial and she was wondering why she saw the Philippines among the US states that sent soldiers to fight and it was a lengthy explanation.
Visit more places! Have fun!
Ponsoy, Joy and Ella
