Washington's Sights

Breakfast we went to a place with badges, called "Bagels Etc". A variety of buns and stuffings for them, delicious coffee. What else does it take for a perfect breakfast?

There wasn't much time to visit the city, so we decided to quickly visit the most important sights of Washington. They started with the Lincoln Memorial. I had to go up the stairs, maneuvering between tourists. We may have chosen a time when most of the tour groups arrive here, but there are a lot of people. But Lincoln himself was waiting for us upstairs!

Next, we went to the Jeffersonian Memorial. It's a little off the grid from other Washington memorials. Inside is a Jeffersonian statue, a small souvenir shop and a tourist center. This place is very majestic. The stairs overlook other memorials of the city, and the number of people, by the way, is considerably smaller.

Our next point on the trip was the Washington Monument. Historical fact - before the construction of the Eiffel Tower it was the tallest building on Earth. It is highly recommended to get closer to him, so you will feel all his greatness! Inside there is an elevator that will take you to the observation deck, which offers a stunning view!

Of course, we couldn't help but visit the National Aeronautics and Aeronautics Museum. In our opinion, one of the best museums in Washington. You can spend the whole day here, but unfortunately, we had limited time.
I was as happy as a boy to see spacecraft, planes and the first spacecraft! The museum also has an attraction, a cockpit, where you can feel like a real pilot of the plane.

We had lunch at a pretty restaurant which offers a great deal of different options, but we wouldn't spend too much time and preserve it to see the places planned for today.

National Park, one of the favorite places for tourists. Of course, we couldn't miss the opportunity to take a walk here. If you're lucky, you'll get to some city festival, they're here quite often. For example, we went to the cherry blossom festival. Very beautiful!

Every traveler who has been to the U.S. capital should have a photo of himself in the background of this pool. It is located between the Lincoln Memorial and the Second World War Memorial. We stayed here for a while, walked around and watched the ducks, reached the capitol.

The White House can be seen from afar. The entire area is fenced off and carefully guarded by the police. We have read that it is possible to book a tour there, but, as we have understood, it is necessary to buy tickets in advance, almost in a few months.

We decided to have dinner in a farmer's restaurant, which is famous for its natural ingredients of dishes and, practically, homemade cuisine. Next, we went to explore Washington at night. Walking the streets, looking at architecture and shop windows. They didn't come back that late, because the next day they had to go to New York.

Shower and bed, all we needed today New York awaits us tomorrow! Washington seemed majestic and statuesque to us, let's see what a big apple will offer us! We'll stop by several cities on the way, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
