We've spent our time in Washington well seemed to make sure we were able to see all the sights and even had time to explore around the area we were staying in -just over the border in Virginia, and only a 5 minute trip on the metro into the centre of Washington. We went over to the pentagon- although we couldn't really see a lot from ground level we did find that a memorial had been placed just outside to represent all those who had died there at 9/11. We thought it was lovely as each person had there own bench to represent them. It was very sad to see with the youngest victim at just 3 years old. After wandering around some shops we were soon in high spirits. Yesterday we spent in the city, visited the Lincoln memorial, Smithsonian, Capitol building and the botanical gardens. We ate lunch in china town- YUM! So were now on our way to New York a shorter bus journey this time so we will arrive later this evening.
