All politics aside, as a history lover, I enjoyed Washington DC and all of Virginia visiting the President's homes and historical sites. Not enough time to get to all the places, but a couple of highlights were: 1) all the Monuments in DC, especially Jefferson's Memorial...2) Old Ebbetts Grill recommended to me by a fellow freeper is the BEST for its chicken and atmosphere! (1 block from the WH just north of the Washington Hotel) Also McCarthur's memorial in Norfolk, VA is a MUST for any person who values our military past, present and future! What a great American he was.
Evening Leah.
Yes indeed. My family lived north of D.C. for several years and the American history in the area is so expansive, it is almost impossible to see. A friend once took me to a pre-Revolutionary War site in eastern PA. As I stood there at the stone monument I noticed it had a date carved in the stone indicating when the monument was erected. I commented to my friend who was from PA that the monument which had been erected many years after the actual event was older than my native State of Texas.
