Take That 3-Day Vacation

Arrival was in North Virginia and from there the traveling began. First stop was the Navy Yard where the Hotel-Residence Inn Washington Capitol Hill-was located, beautiful experience as the area is being updated-defnitley recommend. I was able to travel by foot to Whole Foods, many high end restaurants, there were moderately-$$-priced restaurants too. At the time of my visit the Navy vs. Army Football game occurred, so many people at my hotel were there for the event. Anywho, this was a weekend trip and there was lots to see, so my things were dropped off at the hotel and I hit the Metro. DC Metro runs all-night sooo I was up 'til 2am traveling between Virginia and Washington. Of course, my number one stop was the monumental sites, museums and food trucks, which was an all day event. I also got to see a dead rat on the side walk-just nasty! I got as close as I could to the White House, but the views are better from the Washington Monument. This was a winter trip so, it was not as populated as during the summer, so I was able to take some good photos. Later that night, we rode the Metro to Tyson's Corner Centre Mall in VA and I ate until I could not eat anymore, then rolled myself back onto the subway to head to the hotel. The culture in the area is diverse, so when it was time to eat, I had some GOODT authentic food right on the spot and for a decent price. Next day, I hit the Amtrak Union Station-ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! 

Defenitley did not feel like a regular train station. Plenty of food choices and places to shop and I had some of the best pizza here. Sbarro. cough. cough. Maannn I watched them make that pizza by hand before leaving for Baltimore and got some when I got back!!! We headed to Baltimore and of course we ate, explored the Inner Harbor and it's surrounding buildings then got back on the train. Before  home the next day, I of course, jumped on the metro and headed to see Howard University. I would have loved to visit Philly and New York, there's always next time!
