Another day in DC


We had another nice day in DC despite 3" of snowfall last night.

I finished a repair on a shower pipe fitting that must have cracked last week up in RI when the temp was in single digits. Deryl and kids did school work.








We also drove the RV over to the dump station to pick up more water and Deryl drove it back through the narrow roads of the park and backed it into the camp site without any problems. (video included as proof!)



Left camper just after lunch. This time drove into Smithsonian area; no traffic at all. Hardly any tourists either. All of the museums have been very quiet and sparsely loaded. Hit the National Archives building first and saw some really old original documents (Magna Carta from 1267 or so, Constitution and Bill of Rights, etc).









Then headed to Air & Space Museum for a good 90 minutes (that's a VERY long time as far as Isaac & Jonah are concerned!) Had to stop for a break at the cafe attached to the art museum where we had a snack and then walked up to the Spy Museum (kinda pricey but some cool things to look at).



Had an early dinner in Chinatown and then drove down to Lincoln Memorial to walk up the stairs but couldn't find any parking. So, we headed back to the camper.








Have decided to stay an extra day here in DC before heading off to Richmond. Will allow us a little more time to soak in the sights without feeling too rushed.

It's supposed to snow again...

  1. It's supposed to snow a WHOLE lot. I hope you're parked somewhere safe with plenty of bread and milk!
