Road trip: Washington DC

Well, I think I might have broken Dan already. We've been in Washington DC the past couple of days and I was kind of on a mission to show him the whole of the city in the time we had - something which may be considered impossible to some, but they've never seen my day-planning skills when I'm on holiday.


To give you a quick summary, it went something like this: Up at 7am, out the door by 8am, 20miles walked (this is no joke, that is actually what our phones said), one stop for lunch, one stop to put plasters on Dan's blisters, no stop for dinner, and back at the hotel by 11.30pm.

And I think we almost did it. Everything apart from Georgetown, the zoo and Embassy Row was ticked off the list.


Air and Space, American History, and Native American Museums, check. To the top of Washington Monument, check. The White House and tour of the Capitol Building, check. Ford's Theatre, check. All of the monuments and memorials by daylight AND moonlight, check. Time for shopping, check. Arlington Cemetery, check. There's probably more that I'm forgetting…


Next stop, Seattle.
