I was all set to
embark on a trip to Washington D.C on the weekend of Week2616.
Being a strict
vegetarian I pack all the food for the travel required.
This time my mother
was around for help too.
so we did the
necessary shopping, cooking and was all set to start our journey on Friday evening.
We planned to start
at about 4.pm and reach Washington D.C by 10 PM as it takes 5 hours drive from
Greensboro.
Our travel started as
planned.Driving among the lush green trees was an experience in itself.
The beauty of North
Carolina is very distinct and it feels like a green carpet laid everywhere.
Due to heavy rain and
traffic jam, we had to halt our travel at about 9:30PM about 60 miles from
Washington D.C.
A good thing about Road travel in US is you get good hotels anywhere on
highway and there are clean rest areas for a pit stop every few miles.
We reached Washington
D.C on Saturday at about 11 AM.
Little did we know
that we had to walk and walk and walk to explore the history embedded in the
buildings of Washington D.C.
Walking around the
White house on a hot Saturday afternoon was tiring in itself.
So we hired a bus
tour. We roamed around in bus tour covering most of the historic buildings.
We concluded the day
with a visit to Madame Tussaud.
On Sunday Morning, we
took a trip on metro. Being from Colorado Springs, Greensboro , Washington D.C
was the first metro in the United States to step in.
We explored few more
museums and memorials and concluded our bus tour.
We started our return
journey at about 3.PM on Sunday and reached Greensboro by late evening.
Thank you Washington
for all the wonderful memories you gave us.
