RV travels around the USA
It continues to amaze me at the quality of museums in our nation’s capital. The Smithsonian Museums have some new displays each time that we visit. There are also many other private museums in the city and we were able to work in a new one. In this post, I’ve included a few highlights from our DC museum visits and a few photos. Enjoy.

Most were well lit and awesome to see after dark.
Washington DC & Family: This was our third venture, since retirement, to this giant metropolis of people, autos, and many monuments. And the beltway drive with the big rig is still just as bad. Too many vehicles driving too fast. Just a bad recipe when you mix in the slower to stop vehicles like me. But, after a long driving day we arrived safely and had a great week with our son’s family. Our Eastbound journey is now over! From Alpine Wyoming (our westernmost spot this summer) it is 2,100 miles!
Washington D.C. is a large city at 6.1 million people in the metro area and is the 7th largest in the US. It is a very large city and has more things to do than any other city (my opinion). And most of the major attractions are free! This was our 3rd visit in the last two years. We get to visit with family and see tons of stuff. It is always a great time! This time we attended our son’s wedding and then stayed a couple of extra days. Continue reading “A Few Extra Days in DC After the Wedding”
