I am back in El Paso

After trying to catch up from almost 5 days in DC, I am back to normal now. I am still waking up at 4:30 AM in El Paso thinking it is 6:30 in DC but oh well, I guess I am ok with that, just starts my day a little earlier!

If you are ever in a town that had Duck Tours, I would suggest that you take the time to go on one.

We were picked up at Union Station in Washington on a World War 2 amphibious vehicle that goes on land and water. We started from Union Station and then went all around the downtown and saw all the sights from the US Capitol to the Washington Monument(do you know why it is called a monument instead of a memorial?-we learned all sorts of neat historical facts). We drove past the White House, Japanese Memorial, Justice Bldg, Lincoln Memorial and eventually into the Potomac River and we got to go by the Pentagon and ended up just by the Regan Airport where we got to see a plane land just literally over our head, that was amazing.

Once back on land we drove past the Jefferson Memorial and then back to Union Station. It takes about 1 1/2 hours for the tour and is well worth the money $32.00.

Next we went to the National Cathedral and the Bishops Gardens. What an amazing building our Cathedral is. If you have never been I would suggest that too. The gardens were the highlight- as soon as you step into the garden you feel like the you have been immersed into a magical place, it was soooo relaxing and peaceful. What a great way to end the day.
