The Bunburyist Goes to DC

Last week I had to attend a conference in DC for my job, and since I am scared of traveling alone my MIL and SIL came along for the trip! It was great, even if I did attend quasi boring meetings for the majority of the day. This was my first trip to DC, and I must say DC is a city every American needs to see.

We were there for 5 days, but did the majority of our sightseeing in one afternoon. Talk about a lot of walking in one day. I feel pretty confident that we walked over 10 miles that day (and we are not in top-notch shape...). We saw almost all of the monuments, the Capital, the White House, and The Museum of American History.


I may be the only adult that has a picture of them "touching" the tip of the Washington Monument. I fell into the tourist trap, and I just couldn't resist the urge!

I have to say that I was a little disappointed in the Museum of American History exhibit sizes. I thought the exhibits would be HUGE. But most of the exhibits were rather small....however, I did get to see Dorothy's Ruby Slippers. FYI - there wasn't one Ruby on those slippers!
Overall, we had a wonderful time, and I would love to go back!
