Washington DC






We spent yesterday in Washington DC. We drove to Alexandria, VA, and parked the cars in another Wyndham resort secure lot and took the Metro subway the rest of the way. Aside from one very long "oops a bit out of the way walkabout" it was a great day. We got a little off the beaten path trying to find a pizza place that no longer existed. And with 12 of us in tow and a few chiefs at hand, it was interesting:) But we got to see the wharf area where they sell really smelly fresh fish.

Five of us went to the Holocaust Museum after lunch. I left the little girls with Scott. It was a very unreal experience. The whole idea of that happening seems just so sickening. Everyone should experience this place at least once to memorialize these people and to vow that nothing like that ever happens to anyone or any group of people again.

I'd love to go back to Washington DC when I have at least a week to experience it all more in depth.
