Let the fun begin! 🙂
18.–22. sep. 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F
We departed MSP at 7am. It was a crazy morning, as Tom woke me at 5:27, three minutes before our scheduled Lyft driver! OMG!(Miraculously, I slept through my vibrating alarm.) We made it to the airport a little ragged, but got to our gate with time to spare 🙂. Arrived to a nice day in D.C. -- we are so lucky, with our visit sandwiched between two rainy weekends. We spent the afternoon exploring the monuments and parks on city bikes, with longer stops at Arlington Cemetery and Ford's Theater.Les mer

You must have been packed the night before! Three minutes!? I can imagine how frantic you were! Glad it all worked out though! [Denise Roggow]

Washington Monument tour - cool views from the 50th floor! I biked to the National Zoo, but unfortunately it was closed -- new shorter hours started last week 😖. Tom visited the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. We had dinner at The Washington Harbour, a pretty and lively area I'm Georgetown.Les mer

We rented bikes, to cycle the 40 miles to Mount Vernon & back. Another beautiful day, and a scenic ride along the Potomac. We stopped for breakfast in Old Town Alexandria enroute, and explored this beautiful town -- full of character.Les mer

We spent almost four hours here, and did the grounds, mansion, and enslaved persons tours. What a beautiful property, and so neat to see the same beautiful views that George Washington did!

U.S. Capital & Library of Congress
21. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F
Started our day with a tour of the U.S. Capital. Our visit coincided with Ukraine President Zelensky's day in DC, but we didn't bump into him 😉. An added bonus was getting to see the Reading Room at the Library of Congress which was open for just one hour. Wow--what a beautiful building! We also had passes for the Senate Gallery -- not a lot going on in there (only a few senators, although one was Joe Manchin), but interesting to see. Note, no cell phones and no pointing in the Senate Gallery 🥴.Les mer

The Pentagon
21. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F
The tour of the Pentagon was 'just OK' -- not quite what we were expecting. We walked 1.5 miles through the Pentagon building, hearing an overview of the branches of the armed services and a 9/11 tribute. I was expecting to learn more about the workers and work that goes on there. It's like a small city really -- 26,000 workers -- so shopping and amenities, including their own DMV are on-site.Les mer
