Washington

Half way!!

We are off again, next adventure is Washington DC. Saying goodbye to the beach is sad but also exciting for many more adventure.

We just pulled into a rest stop for a a break and it was very busy and pretty big, the traffic for miles before was at a crawl and we are pretty sure it was just because of the rest area … on a somber note going to places like that just brings you to the reality that COVID is still so real. I already get grossed out being so close to people in public areas and my nose is so sensitive to all the nasty smells 🤢.

We just past the welcomed sign for Virginia

In DC we have lots of plans and will keep posting all our steps

One thing we’ve learned thus far is that there are WAY more cops/highway patrol in Colorado!

And we agree we don’t understand traffic here, The highways don’t flow at all… which is strange because if it was like this in Colorado it would mean there was a wreck or something.. but there was never any thing wrong 🤷‍♀️

The mall- a giant grassy park with big trees, unlike Colorado so the kids had a blast ‘trying’ to climb them lol

Also we’ve never seen so many food trucks. It was pretty cool, we got stuff from them all. And we had so much ice cream!

Just what I pictured in my head but way better. People were all over but because of COVID I have to say I’m positive it wasn’t nearly as bad as it would have been!

People were so willing to take pictures for other tourist :) one of my favorite pics is tanner wanting to climb the inscription at the Lincoln monument haha
