After two flights and a long layover, we finally made it to the United States!!! This is my first time back in the States in about 3 years, and Carles's first time in the USA ever! Even though I'm from Pennsylvania, flights were much cheaper to go to DC. So here is our first USA Travel Vlog in Washington DC!
We were lucky enough to find a decent hotel for a little over $100/night only a 9 minute walk to the White House!
We started our day by walking to the White House. We were surprised how close we could get to it! We then walked to the other side of the White House where we saw the Washington Monument. While we were too late to get walk up tickets to go to the top of the Washington Monument, we were able to explore the rest of the National Mall. The National Mall is the strip of land that's about 2 miles long. It goes from the Capitol Building on one side the whole way down to the Lincoln Memorial. We walked from the Washington Monument past the World War II Memorial, along the reflecting pool, and to the Lincoln Memorial. Unfortunately there was a lot of construction at the Lincoln Memorial. We then saw both the Korean War Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial which are on opposite sides of the Lincoln Memorial. From there we used the Capital Bikeshare app to rent bikes and bike from the Lincoln Memorial to the part of the National Mall that has all the free Smithsonian Museums. We are still amazed at how many free museums there are in Washington DC!!! We only had time to go into the Natural History Museum and the Air and Space Museum, however they were both free and great places to explore! You could spend days in Washington DC just going to free museums! We bought some astronaut ice cream in the Air and Space Museum so we quickly tried that outside of the museum. We continued along to the United States Capitol Building at the end of the National Mall. While we didn't go into the capitol, we did reserve free tickets to the Library of Congress. We were so lucky we arrived just in time to be allowed in the famous Main Reading Room! It was gorgeous!! We then biked from the National Mall over to Georgetown. While we didn't get to try one of the famous Washington Half Smoke sandwiches, we did get to eat the best cupcakes ever at Georgetown Cupcake! We then climbed up the famous stairs from the movie The Exorcist and finished our time in the Georgetown Park along the Potomac River. We had such a great day in Washington DC! We'd love to spend more time there, however even in 24 hours we were able to do so much! We'll have some more USA Travel Vlogs coming soon!
