Last year one of my 29 things to do in my 29th year was to visit a new city. Technically D.C. isn't a new city for me since I've been there once before, but I was so young that I don't remember nearly as much as I should. This trip was a chance for me to experience a great city as an adult that could remember some of it and also operate a camera!
When I first arrived Tanya mentioned that she had a "cheesy idea" of taking me on a Duck Tour. Hellllooo!!! I love Duck Tours! My first one was in Branson, MO and I've been on one in every city that I go that has them available since.
As we drove through the city, I can say that I was a little disappointed with our tour. We sat right behind the driver and with all of the fumes that was coming from the engine I am surprised that I am still able to stand up straight. Also, did you know that Washington D.C. is a very congested city? Everything is so close together that its hard to see the buildings when you are right on them. We had a great time during our trip though and I managed to see some great sights!
Our transportation for the day...The Sitting Duck
They give out quackers for free on the D.C. tour!
As we were out on the water a huge plane flew right over us...our whole boat rocked!
The next day we did a walking tour around the city.
The Korean War Memorial
Of course we made a stop past the Lincoln Memorial.
And looked across the reflecting pool.
The Vietnam Memorial
I live in Massachuesetts
She lives in Virginia
But we met in Florida!
Obviously being in D.C. made me feel more patriotic than I ever thought possible. I was surprised at how pretty the city was, how great the people were, and I will definitely make it back!
