The team met early in the morning at 05h45 to be greeted by a cheerful Cindy Soltis armed with coffee and breakfast goodie bags. We then departed for Washington DC in the company of Ellen Nash and Doug Harpine. After 92 minutes, or so, we arrived at the Vienna/Fairfax Metro to ride into DC. We had fun being crammed together on a crowded morning rush-hour train. We disembarked in Washington city-centre and had our first sight of the famed Capitol building.
We were taken on a guided tour of the Capitol and the Library of Congress with an interlude for lunch inside the Capitol (where Norah had the best Wrap of her life). After the Library of Congress tour the team split up and went to see places of interest.
The team reunited for dinner at The Old Ebbitt Grill, the oldest Saloon in Washington and 5th busiest restaurant in the entire USA. Amazingly delicious food was served and the Blondies were particularly dense and decadent. Whilst the team discussed their day they discovered that they had all done and seen the same things (and that they had ignored each other, or at least Norah and Anna had ignored the boys!)
Some of the places seen included Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, World War 2 Memorial, a host of other memorials and of course one cannot go to Washington DC without seeing the eponymous White House and famed Cherry blossoms.
