Mount Vernon to Washington DC

Thursday, June 6 - We pulled anchor at 9:23, with no mud on the anchor 😀. Within 30 minutes we could see the top of the Washington monument off in the distance. At 10:50 we went under the Woodrow Wilson bridge that has a Welcome to Virginia sign on one side and Welcome to Maryland on the other side. Thereafter we were in Washington DC. We could see the Capital off in the distance, plus lots of government buildings, MGM casino, etc. We docked at Capital Yatch Club at 12:03 pm. The Yacht Club is on The Wharf, a destination place for both locals and tourists groups. We spent the early afternoon showering and laundry. We ate lunch at Kirwan’s, sat at the bar and talked to the bartender on and off. Then walked to Safeway for groceries. That store was a new experience! Then we went to the Yacht Club bar/restaurant. We met several very nice people who gave us lots of tips on where to go and stay on a boat. The Yacht Club is great, extremely clean facilities and wonderful people.Les mer
