Washington, DC

Wednesday morning we took a bus to the Metro, and took the train into downtown DC. We toured the monuments mostly, including going up to the top of the Washington Monument. 

The kids worked on a Jr Ranger program for the Mall, and completed ones for Ford Theater and the White House/President's Park. We also went up in the old Post Office Tower.

Thursday, I drove the RV into downtown, parking on a street near the Potomac between the Roosevelt and Jefferson Memorials, and the kids finished the Jr Ranger program for the Mall. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to tour the Capitol or any of the Smithsonians.

Then we tried to drive down the George Washington Parkway to Arlington Cemetery, but I couldn't find the signs and ended up passing it, so we just stopped in Alexandria to visit the George Washington Masonic Memorial, which was pretty cool. After Alexandria, we drove down the George Washington Parkway to Mount Vernon, but it closed just before we got there, so we drove down to Fredericksburg, where we stayed the night.
