We finally made it up to Washington D.C. Mimi's cousin Mari was not quite the great navigator as her parents led us to believe As you may have guessed it we got lost. We were to go to the train station and take the train but since Mari made a boo boo we ended up driving into D.C. It worked out for the best though and fortunately all roads lead into D.C. Since it was Sunday, it was hard to find a parking spot but we finally found one and it was quite a distance from everything. We sure did a whole lot of walking. Sunday in particular was oh so hot!!! The only place of importance that we really was able to see was the Washington Monument and the Veteran's Memorial. Unfortunately we could not see everything we wanted to see. All the places of importance are spread so far apart plus mom was starting to get heat exhaustion and had blisters on her feet due to some ill fitting shoes. We did get to see the White House from the car but traffic was moving too fast to get a picture. When all was said and done it was 5:00 p.m. and time to make the 3-4 hour trip up to Norfolk, Virginia.
