Went to DC over the weekend 2 weeks ago. The weather was bad and wet as we hit the road on Friday, and it continued that way for the next 2 days. It only became nice and tourist-friendly on Monday, the day that we headed back home to Pittsburgh.
There were two strategic objectives for the trip. The first was to visit many of the museums, monument etc. Due to the bad weather, we only managed to view some, but not all, that we planned to.
The second, and perhaps the main, objective of this trip was to eat good food - our theme was Eat Asia! We are pleased to report that we did well in meeting this objective. We had Pho, Cantonese Roast Duck, Beef Ho fun. We also had quite a bit of Korean BBQ, seafood pancake, BiBim Bap... The drives to these eating places were pretty long, but no complains.
Well, since we didn't meet the first objective, I guess we have to make another trip there again... to visit both history and food that we missed....
Here are some pixs from the trip:
Smithsonian station. This is the stop to get to National Mall, where many of the museums, galleries, and monuments are located. We travelled by metro when we went to the mall area.
Taking in the nice fall colors and weather (when it didn't rain)...
