There's no easy way to sum up our trip to the east coast. What was expected to be a long 10 day vacation through Washington D.C., Gettysburg, PA and New York City was much more exciting than that. We walked 75 miles to places like the Lincoln Memorial, US Capitol building, Gettysburg National Park, Arlington Cemetery, Time Square, Little Italy and Central Park. My feet got blistery and hurt like hell but it truly was a once in a lifetime experience for us.
As I mentioned before, the D.C./Gettysburg leg of our trip was definitely for my husband and NY for me. Surprisingly we both really enjoyed each others planning and were really gung ho about everything. Much of the trip was expected but there were a few detours. For example, due to a bad tour guide, we cut our Library of Congress trip short and added the National Archives. When we noticed that Jennifer Hudson and Jessie J. were doing a sound check in the National Mall, we stopped to listen and sing along. After finding out that our dinner location of choice was closed on Sundays, we drove to a little joint called Hank's Oyster Bar in Alexandria, VA. In New York it was fun exploring places like Rockefeller Plaza and New York Public Library at the drop of a hat.
Here's just a couple of photos from our trip to share with you although they could never capture the sounds, smells and pride you get from being is such beautiful and historical places.
