Disney World之旅(8)--Washington DC

昨晚訂了Marriott courtyard在Washington DC downtown的飯店,因為假日比較便宜,119塊美金。  如果元元狀況OK,就在DC過夜,如果他還發燒,就一路開回New Jersey,只要六點前取消訂房即可。 

看他生龍活虎,我們決定到DC住一天。

飯店位置很好,離The Mall不遠,吃東西也方便,只是parking要24塊美金。不過大都市飯店停車多半要收費,這一點都不影響我們對Marriott的好印象。Marriott是商務型旅館,住過幾次,房間都很乾淨,有一定水準,假日還比平日便宜,真的是不二選擇。

因為元元生病,我們沒打算走遠,只是路過進來看看。 如果紐約是風情萬種的少婦,這裡就像家世顯赫的大家閨秀,感覺氣度非凡。

遠眺國會山莊。
遠眺Washington Monument。
兩兄弟一路總共吃了三條熱狗麵包,還走不到白宮,更不用說傑佛遜紀念堂。
晚上老公出門拍夜景。  國家聖誕樹,頂漂亮的,旁邊圍了51棵小聖誕樹,這棵樹從1978年到現在,被五位總統點燈過。

Wahington DC我已去了兩次
不過都是為了開會(而且都是一個人來,挺寂寞的)
前後加起來只停留五天
幸好最近一次有四處走走
先去逛 Air & Space Museum,然後是China Town
然後一路慢慢走到Lincoln Memorial
最後再繞到White House,算一算好像走了十幾公里
十月的Wahington DC天氣很舒適,挺迷人的
聽說再過兩年這個會要搬到SanFrancisco
再想來就沒那麼容易了!

下次無論如何,你都要押著你老婆一起出門。 有你有我的回憶是最美的。 2007-01-05 22:35:34

Ususally, cherryblossom starts the last week of March or the first two weeks of April. Spring time is the best season to visit DC. My favorite place is Jefferson Memorial. If you arrive one night earlier in DC and get up earlier to visit The MALL, you can avoid a lot of crowd and enjoy more quality time there. Try to avoid going there in the weekend if you can because there are at least one million visitors just like you who will flood in within those weeks. After 8am, it is very very hard to find a parking place. It will be different experience to see cherryblossom in DC as compared to see it in Japan. But I still recommend you to revist DC in the spring time.

今年東岸天氣異常溫暖,不知道會不會影響櫻花季?
這次因為元元生病,我們只蜻蜓點水看一下Washington DC,就當成來過路休息的。 住downtown的courtyard只要119美金,也算撿到便宜。

Museum of Natural History has donosaur exhibition. Your kids perhaps will like it. Is National Monument open for public now? If you can get to the top, you can see the entire DC area and the view is terrific.
