After our first day travel disaster we awoke to a beautiful day in Maryland. Jordana and I haven’t been to Washington DC since 2015 while Aurelia was in her belly. We decided to make the most of the day and take a trip in to see the National Mall and get in as many monuments as we could. We are still learning how much time we can spend adventuring with the kids before we need to take breaks or call it quits, so after the long travel day we didn’t want to push it too much. Tomorrow would be another travel day.
We had a slow morning settling in to the rv park and decided to take an afternoon adventure. We took a nice drive to DC and hit our fair share of traffic. We were lucky to find a parking spot by the Washington Monument and began our adventure from there.
After having fun at the Washington Monument and enjoying a small snack we took the short walk over to the World War II Monument.
We then took the walk over to the Lincoln Memorial and walked along the reflection pool.
We ended our visitation of the monuments with a walk along the Vietnam Memorial Wall.
We took this picture for Cappy. It was his battle buddy and best friend in Vietnam.
We ended our day with a nice walk back to the Jeep from the Vietnam Memorial along Constitution Ave. We passed by the Constitution Gardens and enjoyed the nice weather. It was a nice visit to the Nation’s Capitol. If we weren’t hitting the road the next day we would have taking more time to see more monuments. Also, a lot of the museums and buildings are closed to visitors due to covid restrictions. We left just in time for rush hour traffic and it took us about an hour to get back to the RV park. All in all it was a nice little adventure for the family and made up for the previous travel day.
Keep an eye out for an upcoming youtube video of this adventure.
Stay Lost!
