Dan & Mel's 2014 DC Adventure

Last Thursday Dan and I took off for a week in our nation's Capital- Washington D.C. We had both been there before, but not together. We had dreamed about going back with each other and thanks to Delta miles and our fabulous moms, we were off!!
We found a great rental in the Capital District and stayed for 6 nights- just the right time to see and do everything we could think of.
                                               
Our Home away from home- 
The Stanton Park Flat (bottom floor)
 View from our room
 A visit to Eastern Market our first morning
 Capital Building
 One of many "selfies" on the trip
 Washington Monument
 Lincoln Memorial
 Vietnam War Memorial

 Martin Luther King Jr. Monument
 Jefferson Memorial

 Arlington Cemetery 
Iwo Jima Monument
 The White House
 Chilling with Albert Einstein
 Robert E. Lee's House at Arlington
 Capital Bike Share-
our choice of transportation
 Our bikes on the C & O canal- Georgetown

 We had three beautiful days and then the weather turned cold and it snowed. After the snow storm, the city stayed in the low 30's (feeling like the mid 20's). We still managed to get out and about, but it was a lot harder.
