Go, See, Do, Experience!
Our United States Capitol tour was set for 10:00 a.m. We knew the visitor center opened at 8:30 a.m. so we got there when it opened. We figured we could look around in the visitor center before the tour. Security was easy to get through and then, since I had timed tickets, we went to... Continue Reading →
Washington National Cathedral was way more to us than we expected. First of all, the bus ride from the Metro red line train stop was interesting. The streets around this area are curvy but jut out with new streets from all points. Some places a lane was taking out on each side of the road... Continue Reading →
What does Kevin hear in Washington, D.C? As we came out of the tunnel from the Metro train at the Archives Station, Kevin turned to me and in American Sign Language signed that he heard music. When our heads popped up out of the ground we saw a full orchestra and band set up at... Continue Reading →
Do you know there is a university designed exclusively for the deaf and signing community? It started more than 150 years ago and is in Washington, D.C. Gallaudet University. https://gallaudet.edu/about/ I was so excited to see this place. I became 100% deaf four years ago and the eight or so years before that I was... Continue Reading →
Memorial Day in Washington, D.C. We drove to the train station this day, instead of taking the bus to the train, since the whole Metro system is on Sunday schedule. We got off the train at the Archives stop, and walked south to the National Mall. There wasn’t a lot of people out and there... Continue Reading →
We had a tour scheduled this evening so we hung out until 10:00 a.m. and then headed out. We went back to National Museum of American History for the day. I was thrilled to see Julia Child’s display. It is actually her real kitchen! She donated the whole thing to this Smithsonian. All her cooking... Continue Reading →
We are so glad to discovered the White House Visitor Center, part of the National Park Service. We thought it would be interesting and it sure was. We highly recommend this place to visitors. This is a block or two away from the White House. The film (captioned, this place gets an A) and displays... Continue Reading →
Another early start to our day. We took the green line Metro train and then red line to Judiciary Square stop in Washington, D.C. There we walked past the Capitol Building. This is quite the hill to walk up, thus, “Capitol Hill?” United States Supreme Court, Washington, D.C. 05/24 Behind the Capitol, from our direction,... Continue Reading →
We caught the Metro bus at 7:10 a.m. right at Cherry Hill Campground. This stop is where the drivers take a break. We had noticed yesterday that quite a few people at the many bus stops didn’t tap to pay when they got on. We asked the driver why and he said that during Covid,... Continue Reading →
Today is a day to learn how to do Washington, D.C. Yesterday we got here at Cherry Hill Park. It is a top rated campground. At 4:00 p.m. every day, they have a visitor session on how to get around Washington, D.C., how the Metro (trains, buses, Circulator, etc) works, schedules, and suggestions to see...
