Day 10.
After taking a bus ride then subway we arrived in DC
Started with the Bible Museum. Spent 1-1/2 going through then ate lunch at their restaurant. We could have stayed a couple more hours but we had to make our Capital Building tour
Capital Building is beautiful inside. Paintings, statues, and the building itself is amazing
Our founding father's sure knew what they were doing
We then walked to the Library of Congress. Pretty interesting place but we could only stay 30 minutes
Last but not least we tour the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. No pic allowed. The tour took us through the machines printing money. We saw mainly $5 bills being made. Probably over several million worth on plallets. Wanted to take a pallet home but they said no. So I bought a sheet if 8 $2 bills
Time for dinner and planning tomorrows day

I’m surprised there is a bible museum in DC. It doesn’t seem like a particularly bible friendly town! But now I have another reason to go there. Have a great visit.

Awesome pictures Jerry. Thanks. I was there with my dad and uncle's WWII Honor Flight almost five years ago. Quite a humbling experience.

Day 11.
White House tour. Pics above. Self guided tour. We started in the East wing, west up stairs to the red, green, and blue rooms, dining room. Secret service guys were friendly and willing to answer questions. All these rooms are used by the Trumps when they're in town and tours are canceled
We got into town early and while walking to the WH we came upon food vendors. I guess they are there every Friday. I got BBQ sliders, chicken, pork, and briskets. Also a port baby back rib. Wow it was good. pizza, ice cream and milk shacks were had by all
After the WH we went to the Holocaust Museum. All I can say is the world CAN never forget this. Jaime and family left before us to eat dinner. Maria and I stayed another 1-1/2 hours. We watched every video and viewed every display
That was it for the day. Again exhausted from all the walking
Jerry
I have a pizza oven at home and make my own dough. Had to take the pizza oven pic. Mine is nothing like this one

Day 12
Ford Theatre, National Archives, and Natural History Museum
All three were very interesting but honestly museums aren't my thing. Maria really liked it so that's all that matters and we saw the Hope Diamond. Now Maria wants her 4 caret

Loving the pics and trip journal, Jerry. We really enjoyed our time in DC years ago when we took our (now adult) sons there. You're missing our cool weather back here in SoCal -- it was a balmy 103 here in Berdoo today!
Continued safe travels!
