Today we got an early start. Wanted to find our campground and get settled early in the day. We arrived before noontime and set up camp. This campground is marvelous! We back up to some woods and we have neighbors near, but not so near that you feel you are on top of each other.
This afternoon we take our auto and travel into D.C. We find so much has changed since our last time in D.C (around 1966)! It is a city of ever changing things and places to see.
We did manage to find our way around enough to drive past 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When we lived in D.C. area back in 1966 - we could stop and park in front of the White House, but now you drive by, don't stop and snap photos as you're traveling by.
Then we headed to the Lincoln Memorial. On the way we pasted the Vietnam Memorial and also WWII Memorial. Then we headed out to Arlington National Cemetery. We can remember when Fritz was stationed at Andrews A.F.B and had duty in the area. We did a lot of touring in the car and then headed back to our campsite.
A fun day and lots of excitement for us. Can't wait to take a tour and see and hear more of our capital city. Such an interesting place to visit. But during the week, we would NEVER think of driving into the city. We will take the buses and metro system.
