Gettysburg & The Capital

The Washington, DC area is a good place to take in a huge amount history, culture and walking.  With almost every museum and monument in 'The Mall' having no fee entry and free wifi, it can be done with very little cash out of pocket.  Bring your water bottle, pack a lunch (the cafeterias will gouge you big time for food and drinks) and if you park in one of the 3 Hour Free spots; making sure to return to your car/rv before the time expires!  Yes...the most expensive part of being in Washington was the $40 parking ticket.  Not even our overnight parking expenses came close to that!  For overnight we stayed at the Greenbelt Metro and paid a total of $4.50 for three nights (the gates were up and there was no attendant 2 of the mornings).

Here are some highlights in photos of our time there.

I climbed this tower on my grade 8 class trip (19 years ago?!)


This looks like the stairwell at the ROM.





The sun shines only on the Capitol?
