Since we are in Atlanta with family, we decided to take this opportunity to take a family road trip to the capital of US, Washington D.C. and stayed for 4 nights and 5 days. We drove to Washington D.C via South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. On the way to Washington D.C., we spent one night in North Carolina but on the way back to Atlanta, we drove through for 10 hours making a few stops. Billy and his family have been to Washington D.C. before, but it was my first time. We stayed at a lovely hotel in Virginia and ‘commute’ to Washington D.C. every day. Public transportation in Washington D.C. was quite good but all metro stations were quite dark. Most buildings looked very historical and have got impressive architects and interior design. We visited the Mall, the US National Capital, Lincoln Memorial, the Reflecting Pool, US Memorial, the Supreme Court, some of the Smithsonian museums, and the Newseum. We were also lucky to have a couple of friends who live in Washington D.C. to visit and have dinners and lunch. This truly gave us good insight of Washington D.C.
4 full days were not enough to cover all attractions that Washington D.C. offers but enough time to experience and learn about the capital of USA. Besides, the trip brought us together as a family and we surely enjoyed our ‘alone’ time together. It was fun and has become a very memorable piece that we will talk about it in the future.
