Brad surprised me for Christmas with a trip to DC on the train! I haven't been to DC for years and years and was so excited to go! Cyrus stayed home with Doc for the day and we took off with our friend, Gardner Mundy at 6:30AM on the Amtrack train headed for the country's Capital!
It was pretty dark and dreary with lots of rain and cold weather but it didn't matter to me, it was awesome! I had so much fun with Brad and with Gardner and on the train home I was wishing that the ride would have been just a few hours longer:)
While in DC, we took in the following: The WW II Memorial, FDR Memorial, MLK Memorial, The Washington Monument and the White House all before lunch! After lunch we toured the Capital and wandered through the American History Museum. We walked a total of 11 miles on this day, the majority of which we were soaking wet but it was awesome! We settled in on the train home with some dinner, a few gin & tonics and a good book. What a wonderful way to spend the day!
