We spent today in Washington DC. Washington is an easy 3 hour train journey from New York, which 
made for a long but enjoyable day. We had to be on the train by 6:05am, luckily we made it in time, but it was very close!
made for a long but enjoyable day. We had to be on the train by 6:05am, luckily we made it in time, but it was very close!Given our lack of time in the Nation's Capital, we decided to do the 'hop on hop off' option that is most popular with tourists everywhere we go. We got to see all of the main sites, however briefly, including The White House, The Capital Building and a multitude of memorials. Our tour even took us out to Arlington to see the largest military cemetary in the country and also the resting place of JFK.
Walking the memorials was nice, reminiscent of a Simpson's episode too but none of the Presidents found the time to speak to us. We particularly like the World War II memorial which was spectacularly done. It is lucky they have some spare space because a number of the memorials are real estate hungry.
We ended the day with another National Treasure photo moment, namely the replica of the liberty bell outside the train station. Following a recommendation from our View friends, Joe and Allan, we had dinner at the Thunder Grill, which was very nice.
