It’s crazy how warm the Atlantic Ocean is, so very very different from the Pacific. So we had a lot of fun splashing around.

The temp was still perfection at Virginia Beach this evening, so we walked for some putt putt, saw an amazing sunset and had some laughs on the way. But the full moon over Atlantic Avenue wasRead more

It was a bit of hide and go seek at first… We could hear the Jets, but then we wouldn’t see them. Having them fly over us was stupendous!

In colonial Williamsburg, we ate at the Kings Arms Tavern - dishes, like duck and venison and peanut soup certainly hit the spot. Had no clue that history would taste so great.

Unbelievable all of the exhibits they have at the Air and Space Museum. I know we are sad that some of the exhibits were closed off for renovation, our two hours here “flew” by!

Ford’s Theater is quite an experience
May 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 66 °F
Considering the place where Lincoln was assassinated was truly quite an experience. Like everything else in DC, we wish we could’ve spent five times as much time there looking over all the details.
Who knew? Archives are awesome!

Sunny Bus Tour time
May 14, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
Our bus ride today was glorious, so fun to sit on the top of the bus and see all the things up close and personal. It’s a big bus tour also has a really great narration with DC history.
