Who says you can’t do D.C. in one day? 

Ok, so maybe it’s not the most ideal way to do it but we sure covered a lot of ground!  Despite the fact that we were on a trolley tour, I’ve never walked so much in my life!  By the time we got to Arlington National Cemetery, we were already exhausted.  Then they told us it was pretty much all UPHILL!  It was SO worth it though! 

This was our first time in D.C. and we were intrigued with all the architecture, the history, the grandeur, the symbolism, the memorials, the museums, and the overall cleanliness of the area.  I only wish we could’ve spent more time at the Natural History Museum. 

As an American, Washington D.C is definitely a trip worth taking.
