Washington DC Day 1

Hi All,

Thanks to all of you who expressed concern for our adventures yesterday. We awoke to clear skies and drove to remaining 60 miles to DC. We settled into Greenbelt National Park, a beautiful wooded area right on the beltway. It's dry camping(no hookups) but with our Senior Pass it is only $8 a night and a mile from the Metro.

First stop was the Smithsonian Castle


With a sampling of exhibits from the various other museums like this Apollo lunar sample return container (Moon Rock Box) from the Air & Space Museum

and this 12 inch long bird eating tarantula from the Natural History Museum

We then walked along the Tidal Basin towards the Jefferson Memorial. The Cherry Blossom Festival is underway but the blossoms are waiting for warmer weather.

The Jefferson Memorial is impressive as always

This is Jefferson's opinion on religious freedom. Thank you President Jefferson.

Next we walked up to this place. Pretty low key for the leader of our country.
In the evening we planned our touring for the next couple of days.

Love,
