Washington, D.C.

When we left New York, we had planned on returning to NYC & Philadelphia after Kait healed up. Since we were delayed a little longer than we anticipated, it was too late for us to camp up there since most of the campgrounds close around November 1st in that area. We'll get to NYC and Philly in the spring.

Our second leg is starting in Washington, D.C. and then we are heading South down the Atlantic coast, around the tip of Florida, across the Gulf Coast and finally ending up in San Antonio to spend Christmas with Tom's Mom. After that, we have some decisions to make as to how far West we go before heading home for our niece's wedding at the beginning of March. My goal is to not see any snow this winter.

We arrived at the Cherry Hill Park in College Park, MD. It's the closest RV park to DC with easy access to the Metro. College Park, home of the University of Maryland seems like a nice area. We'll be back to stay here again.



Squishing the Washington Monument with my fingers.

 I didn't know that the Smithsonian Museums had free admission which was a nice surprise because if you eat in the museum cafeteria's you won't have any money left over to do anything (seriously, $58 for lunch!).
We visited the Natural History Museum, the American History Museum and the Air and Space Museum (not all in the same day). We also took a hop-on-hop-off trolley to all of the monuments. The trolley drivers were very passionate about the history of our country and shared a lot of info as we drove around the city.


Kait and Andrew waiting for the IMAX 3-D movie to start.



The National Cathedral

I think the best part is seeing all of this and tying it back into the history lessons the kids are learning this year. Our next stop is Colonial Williamsburg which is exactly what Kait is studying now.

There is so much to do in D.C., I don't think you could ever see it all!
