The Big Trip

So Rich and I have planned a little trip for ourselves this year and decided that we were going to go to Washington DC! We figured that now would be the best time to do a trip like this since we don't have any kids and trips like this won't really be possible one they come bopping along. I've been so excited and busy planning all the things we can and get to do.

The first on the list is to arrive in Washington DC on Saturday night (September 11th) and go to bed! :) We have a tour of the Capital Building on Monday and then the following Tuesday we have a tour of the White House, just before we get back on a plane and head home (September 21st). I mapped out all of the attractions and figured it would be best to focus on the "Mall" since that's where most of the Smithsonian's are (which are all free!!!).

After some quick searching I found out that it's only a 4 hour bus ride to New York City. So I went ahead and booked some tickets for that too! I mean, when is the next time that we will be that close to an amazing place and be able to go there?!

I can't believe all the things we get to do...Museum of Natural History, Air and Space Museum, White House, Capital Building, National Archives Building, Library of Congress, Holocaust Museum, Union Station, Penn Station, Times Square, Ground Zero, Central Park, Statue of Liberty....And the list can go on and on and on! I am already expecting that we won't get to see everything that we want, but I hope that we get to see at least enough to make a memorable experience.

Well, I better get back to planning again. I need to make an "agenda" so that we have ideas for each day and we have a list of all the things we wanted to do!

It's only a week away!!! YIPPIE!!!!!
