10. Washington DC: Day Two
Tuesday, July 22
Our second day in DC started with a closer look at the White House...
...and continued with a stop at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
Our next stop was the eternal flame at JFK's gravesite...
...and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery:
Then, we were off to the the National Air and Space Museum...
...where we took a tour of aviation history from the 1903 Wrights Brothers' Flyer...
...Charles Lindbergh's 1927 Spirit of St. Louis next to Church Yeager's 1947 X-1...
...the 1927 Tin Goose and the 1935 DC-3 and Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Vega...
and the World War II Curtiss P-40E:
Then we checked out space exploration with the 1965 Gemini 4
and the 1969 Lunar Module...
...the 1973 Grumman X-29 and the 1974 Skylab.
We could have spent days there and at all the Smithsonian Museums,
but we had to check out of the RV park for a quick ride down to Hampton,
Virginia to visit cousin Tony. Leaving DC, we stopped by Georgetown University
where Maggie posed in front of her favorite basketball venues:
