Washington D.C. May 2-5

It's been a long time since we've written but we arrived in Washington DC on May 2 and have been staying in the Greenbelt Nationial park.  Took a metro ride to the city and did the city tour on the big red double-decker bus.  We spent a lot of the time at the Smithsonian.  So many museums and so much to see.

Washington Monument

 Jefferson Memorial

 The New Martin Luther King Memorial

The Hope Diamond in the

Smithsonian

Washington and the zoo both had lots of construction going on.  Everything was busy with tour groups and refurbishing that it was hectic.   Nice place to visit and you have to see it once.
