We started off our last two morning with breakfast at Bayou Bakery, just a block away from our hotel. After breakfast on day three we took the Metro to Union Station and then wandered our way over to the Smithsonian National Gallery of Art. It is my favorite of the Smithsonian museums! We had lunch at Oyamel Cocina Mexicana after our visit to the museum.
We spent the afternoon leisurely making our way over to the White House because even though we could not secure a tour, you can't go to Washington DC and not go by the White House!
On our last day we didn't have much time to be touristy before we had to return to our hotel to grab our bags and make out way to the airport for our flight. After our breakfast we took the Metro across the river and spent our remaining time on the National Mall. We had time to see the Washington Monument, WWII Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial before we hopped back on the Metro. We enjoyed ridiculously nice weather the entire trip. And it is always nice for me to get to travel with my parents again since it doesn't get to happen nearly enough anymore. As always, I'm looking forward to my next trip with them and my next trip in general....whatever that may be.
