Washington - Day 2 - 12/8

This is our last day in Washington and it is not even a full day. We need to drive to Williamsburg. The hotel room is very big. We have a bedroom with 2 beds, a living room with a large sofa and a dining room and a working table and also a small kitchenette. Only the bathroom is minuscule. The TVs are very big. Anyhow, we managed to sleep till 8:00. And we left the hotel not before 11:30. 

Working...

Really lazy morning. The plan is to take the metro till the Capitol and to walk from there back to the Lincoln monument. But... the metro was not working so well. There was a problem on the lines and we waited more than traveled. So we got off after 4 stations instead of 7 and walked. The weather was better than yesterday, so no problem with the walk. 

This time we reached the Capitol which was on restoration so the dome was covered. 

We started to walk back towards our car. We entered the Air & Space museum, but it was not a success and we left pretty soon. The museums here are for free but they also look very old and crowded and not very maintained. 

Apollo 11

The Eagle - moon lander

The monuments though are impressive and big. We walked near the Washington monument and across the park towards the World War II memorial and the reflecting pool.

The pool is not deep at all and ducks are swimming in it. The sky and the clouds provided us a very nice background for our photos.

The kids were not so cooperative but we managed to arrive so far. The stairs till the Lincoln statue were too much for them, so Ioana waited with them, while Yoram went to visit Mr. Lincoln and take a selfy together.

Starved, we took a cab to Georgetown to have a light lunch before driving to Williamsburg. We ate in a small pizzeria with very good pizzas. Instead of 16:30 we left Washington at 18:00 (after picking the luggage) . 

Regarding the Netflix trial - disappointment. All the movies are pretty old, same about the series. Nothing really to see. But, we did created an iTunes American account so we can try the music service and also we can download the Netflix app. All u need is an itunes gift card.
