The last day in DC was action-packed.
I tried to cram as much as I could, for obvious reasons. I was at the National Mall by 10:30 am and left at 6:30 pm. I wanted to stay till the museums closure but I had to go back south to Alexandria, pick up all my luggage and then head north to Rockville where my ride back to Canada was. The whole thing took me 4 hours. Le ugh.
But it was a great day despite all the travelling. So here are the last of the DC pictures.

I started with a quick breakfast. Bagel with cream cheese and hot chocolate (cause they didn’t have coffee). Sat on a bench to eat and two seconds later I had company
After sharing half of my bagel with my new friends I set for a walk long the Tidal Basin to see the Memorials. It took me about 2 hours to do that. Then I head back to the National Mall to visit the American History Museum, the last on my list of the Smithsonian. Then to the National History and Air & Space shops to get the gifts I had eyed on previous days but didn’t want to carry around. A GREAT day indeed.
And now, not taken on my last day but I forgot to include them in the post where they belong. For Dad Knows. He knows why.

I love DC — have a lot of relatives there. It’s one of the cities I’d consider living. It has a lot of character.
I loved it too! I don’t have any interest in moving out of Canada but DC is definitely a city I’d visit over and over again :)
Yep – that’s what I’m talkin’ about. I like your sparrow pals too.
They were so cute. I stayed longer there just to enjoy their company. What a great way to start the day :)
SSG, thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! I have lived vicariously through you a little bit. :) It looks like you’ve had a great time, but nothing’s like coming home and pet your kitten in your own bed.
You can say that again! :)
Looks like it was a great trip!!!
It was! It truly was a dream come true for me. I had so much fun geeking out at all the Smithsonian museums!
