Speedy

And so, 2 weeks ago we had a whirlwind trip to Washington DC (our hearts go out to those affected by Hurricane Irene).

A friend once told me that the city was one of the highlights of the east coast, the other two basically being Boston and New York. But to be honest, there is nothing much here. 

Well, you have the White House, lots of memorials and museums... but nothing much basically. Just a day trip kinda place. 

Although I do get bored with memorials, I think it's great how they put them all in one area. So you can sort of complete all of them in one sweep, and feel like you've done a lot for the day. 

Some places to go to:

- the memorial area (Jefferson, Lincoln, Vietnam War, Korean War, etc)

- the air and space museum

- ** The NEWSEUM! :D Best highlight of the state if you ask me. 

- Capitol Hill (really pretty)

- The White House (just to take a picture of it to say that you've been there. If it wasn't the administrative building of the country I wouldn't even have bothered visiting!)
