Flight into NJ & Bus trip to D.C.

My mom and I arrived at Newark,NJ airport around 10pm on July 23rd. Collected our luggage and took the hotel bus to our hotel. It was too late to meet with our Escorts on our bus trip 14 B so we went to bed.

We woke up at 530 am to leave on the bus by 7am. The bus ride was alright but cramped. We stopped in Maryland to use the bathroom and rest for a bit. It was really cool seeing all the different kinds of bridges,toll crossing (which there was a lot of them) and driving through each state. It seemed like we would drive 50 miles and then another toll crossing would come up every 50 to 100 miles. The bus was drived by "Diane" she was an awesome lady we finally arrived in Washington D.C. She dropped us off at "The Mall" in D.C. Our first stop for my mom and I was the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Here are some pictures from the museum.

Next stop was lunch at the "Old Post Office in D.C" to get a view from above.

We walked past the IRS (yikes!), the EPA and "The White House" on our way to the Washington Monument.

After resting for a bit before we headed to the World War II Memorial, it was really hot in D.C.

I will upload all my images to Flickr and Slide. As soon as I do that I will post a link to it on here and at my blog on MLBlogs.com "The 3Bs: Brains,Beauty and Baseball".

Even walking in the shade it was hot as we walked on a path to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The last time I was there was when I was 10 years old.

That is me taking a picture and there is one with my mom in it too.

Finally our last stop before driving to our next hotel was "The Washington Nationals" who were playing San Diego Padres.

This is the end of our second day of the trip.
