We just couldn’t get enough of that driving and metro thing, so we left the RV park at 7 AM. We were pleasantly surprised to find a nearly empty parking lot at the Metro station and no wait to board a nearly empty train. Our first stop was the Capitol, where we did not wait long to have a wonderful tour. We exited the Capitol through the tunnel which leads to the Library of Congress. There are so many historic sites and interesting buildings that we could spend days here, but we chose to take pictures instead on our walk to the National Archives. It was worth the 45 minute wait in the heat and humidity to view our Declaration of Independence, Constitution of the United States and The Bill of Rights.
Again no pictures inside, I almost got shot taking the picture of the emblem on the floor just outside the door.
We were pleasantly surprised to meet Aaron’s friend Hillary, who lives in DC. Curt and Yvonne had not seen her in 5 years, so it was neat for her to call that she was in the city and wanted to see them. We had to “ditch” our water and snack food at the Capitol, so by the time we finished the time at the National Archives, we were in need of nourishment before heading back to the Metro. Hillary directed us to a cute place with really good food.
We took the Metro to the station close to Cookie, where she told us she would meet us in the “Kiss and Ride” parking lot to say goodbye. Of course, after we kissed and said goodbye, she talked us into letting her drive us to the Metro station where we had parked (another 30 minutes away). We cannot say enough about her generosity while we were here. The time was awesome!
