A favorite place of mine to visit has always been Washington, DC. It is so full of cultural diversity, history, lots of wonderful museums and it is virtually a FREE place to visit. I've lost track of how many times I have been there. My mother will undoubtedly recall the time I flew the two of us there as a Mother's Day gift for her. We walked until she could only hobble! But she got to see some things she had always wanted to see. I love going to the museums. My favorites are the Natural History Museum, National Air and Space Museum, the American History Museum and the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. I also enjoy visiting the National Zoo. And not to be missed are the Vietnam Memorial Wall and Daniel's Place. Arlington Cemetry is nearby and is another place to see. Over the years I have made many trips to DC and enjoyed it each and every time. When we lived in Maryland and Pennsylvania we were only a couple of hours away so we drove down every now and then. Below are some photos we took on one particular visit when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
