Pennsylvania to Washington DC

Very overcast and it had been raining during the night - 15⁰C (63⁰F).  We left after having a cup of coffee.  Just before getting to Oxford, we crossed over Highway 1.  We stopped just before Elkton at the Mc Donalds so that we could plot our route to Washington DC.  We drove into Delaware and through a town called Middleton.  This was a pretty place with lovely big houses and sprawling gardens.

We went over the Bay Bridge over the Chesapeake Bay and then over the Pearl Harbour Memorial Bridge.  There were a lot of marinas on this bay. 

We arrived in Alexandria to check into the Days Inn, but our rooms weren’t quite ready so we headed off up to the road to “Five Guys” and had the best burger ever, for lunch.  We then took a drive to a shopping mall, but ended up leaving after about an hour as there were more shops shut than were open.  We checked into our motel and just chilled for a bit.

At 4:45pm we got the courtesy bus to the station and then headed off into Washington DC to see the theater that Lincoln got shot in and then went to the Hard Rock Café (which was just down the road) for supper.  After supper we wondered around a bit, slowly making our way to the underground station to catch our train back to our station.  We then caught a taxi back to our motel, were Dereck and Doug killed a few more beers.
