Today we said Goodbye to New York.. Went to the gorgeous Penn Train Station bound for Washington DC.
The train trip was great, we had awesome seats and great views out the window. It took about 3 hrs to get to DC.
This is Union Train Station in DC.. honestly the train stations in America are aweseome.
This is the Washington monument. This was built in memory of George Washington, the first President of the Unidted States.
Then we walked to the World War II memorial..
This speaks for itself....
Then we walked to the Lincoln Memorial, Here is a large statue of Abraham Lincoln (the 16th President). It is very very impressive.
Then we walked across the Potomac River to Arlinton Cemetery..
This is the grave site of John F. Kennedy (the 35th President) His wife Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is burried along side him.
It was a very very wet day in DC.. but it didn't stop us one bit.
DC is such a regal place, very clean, very pretty, not a lot of people there and the buildings and monuments are amazing. We found all the American people to be super friendly and very helpful !! A guy even offered us his own umbrella in the pouring rain in DC... awww :)
That's about all for today folks
