Washington DC

On Sunday (June 30th) Tom & I drove Tyler Leavitt to the Dulles Airport, near Washington DC. It was sad to say goodbye to such a fun buddy for Tom. Here is a picture of them outside the Airport. I think they look like they could be brothers.

Then Tom and I drove to the Vienna Virginia metro stop. I was so excited! I hadn't been on a metro since I was teaching english in Ukraine back in 2008. We rode the metro into DC and were able to visit the Holocaust Museum. (pictures will be added soon)

Then we walked around and saw the Washington Monument and The White House, from a distance. Tom got a hot dog from a street vendor (hot dog stand) and then we hopped back on the metro to go see the  huge Lincoln statue. (pictures will be added soon)

It was also neat to see the Washington Monument as it reflected in the reflection pool. Reminded me of Forest Gump, lol...  (pictures will be added soon)

It was raining so we took a taxi, first time ever for me, back to the metro stop a mile away. We rode the Metro back to Vienna and then headed back to Lancaster. It was a lot of fun to spend the day in DC!
