I was lucky and got to go to Washington DC last week, a short trip, but I loved every minute of it. (Ok I didn't love the minute or two where I almost choked on my steak, but all the other minutes I loved) I stayed in National Harbor in Maryland at a beautiful resort.....I was there for a Hospice Conference. There was not much time to do any sight seeing, but Shar and I managed to see alot. We went to the British Embassy (Shar's a Brit) and the New Zealand Embassy (Shar has family there). We Also went to the Pentagon and saw the 9-11 Memorial. It was a heart breaking tribute to those killed there, both on the plane and in the Pentagon. Of course we went to the White House (outside the fence) We went to the American History Smithsonian. It was a lovely place with all the first ladies Inaugural gowns. I have to say the place I enjoyed the most was Arlington National Cemetery. It was raining when we were there, we got soaked and also left by out tour bus, but I loved it anyway. I am putting that on the top of my list of places to go when I get back there. It was beautiful, serene, and humbling to be there. There wasn't enough time to do everything we wanted but we ran and ran trying to see as much as possible. Spring flowers and trees in an amazing colors. I just loved it all. I took over 500 photos there, here are just a few.
