Took the Metro undergrounds into DC this morning at 09h30. Trip takes only 20 mins and trains are fast and clean. Doug & Susan were going to spend the day on the hop-on hop-off bus for the day as they had not been to DC before. (We were here last year and did this) We got off at the US Capital building and took a walk around it. Queues were too long to consider a visit inside and security is very tight around all the government buildings. There were protesters in front of the Capital building who were protesting health care reductions proposed by the government. Had a late breakfast and did some shopping and walked along the Mall for a while. Then walked on to the White House to visit Obama but he was in NYC. Pity as I had some good advice for him for dealing with the loonies in the Republican presidential nomination ;-)
Took the metro back out to our motel at 4pm and then took a drive to a nearby shopping mall. Clothing is very cheap here and many good bargains can be found. Had a great meal at “Famous Dave’s BBQ Pit” where they tried their best to feed us to death … again !!!
Doug & Sue got back after a long day at 8pm and we finished the day off with few more Yuengling’s !!!
Love all the Shopping! Hope you took an empty suitcase! Aside from that, you have been to some really interesting places. :)Rayna
