The train to DC wasn't all the scenic after dark and we arrived somewhat late. When we walked out of the Union Train Station the Capitol Building's dome was very visible. This was a very nice welcome to DC. We Ubered to Roslyn, Va where our hotel was located. We chose this particular hotel for not only price but convenience. We could walk the less than one mile and catch the ever popular Hop On/Hop Off double decker bus.
As is our usual MO we rode the entire route before picking out where to get off of the bus. We went to the Lincoln Memorial, The Capitol Building, the Vietnam War Memorial, Kennedy Center and The Smithsonian Air and Space museum. I dined at Union Train Station on a Shake Shack burger. These burgers are reputed to be the best in the USA, IE the world. Not so. It was a good burger, maybe a great burger but it didn't measure up to an In and Out.
On our last day in DC we Ubered out to Mount Vernon to visit with George. George is buried in a vault on the grounds.
We again boarded the AMTRAK Crescent which we first boarded in New York City. The Crescent took us to Atlanta and a few days later on to New Orleans.
