Washington DC 5/11 to 5/ 15


NH at her slip at the Capital Yacht Club right down town within walking and biking distance to all that Washington has to offer. Now Nandad was very excited and was really thrilled to cruise under the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge.

Nana and Nandad will spend four nights at the Marina and plan to visit all the memorials, monument and any outdoor facilities that we are permitted to access. It is very strange to be able to bike right up to the monument, no crowds, no fuss , as due to COVID and events of Jan 6th Washington is still in lockdown mode. The Wharf area is really still underdevelopment but so far they have created quite the area for walking, dining and enjoying the waterfront. On our first night we decided to do the Old Trolley Moonlight tour and covered a lot of ground.






Wednesday Nana and Nandad repeated the tour of the memorials but this time by bike. It was really something special. We took the water taxi to Alexandria and had a wonderful dinner at Landini Brothers that lasted two hours - it reminded us of Italy. Great food, good wine and great service.
