June 22 -- Visiting Washington DC…driving to Detroit

Major league baseball takes Mondays off (for the most part) during June, so the two Mondays of our inter-league trip we had to find something to do. The first Monday we went to the baseball hall of fame. This Monday we did a little sightseeing in Washington in the morning and we have our longest trip from one venue to another, so it was a good traveling day.

I have been to Washington DC the last seven years with the 8th graders from Lake Jr. High so I knew my way around pretty good. Since Keith had never been there before, I thought a good place to start was the Washington Monument to get a birds-eye view of some of the attractions.

We also took in the WWII Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. Our initial plan was to drive part way to Detroit today and get to our Detroit hotel tomorrow, but we are having so much fun driving, we did the whole route today.
