– Alexandria, Virginia and Washington D.C. 2008 –
Kind of a crash course of the area, this series was shot the morning after a belated holiday party.
We start with breakfast at Pat Troy’s Restaurant and Pub in Alexandria, Virginia,
and then drive into Washington D.C.
with a quick stop at the Capitol Building,
passing the Washington Monument, the White House, and the Lincoln Memorial,
stopping at the Iwo Jima Memorial, and passing Arlington National Cemetery
before continuing on…
Now arriving at Pat Troy’s Restaurant and Pub.
The location has since closed, but a 360 degree view of the interior is available online.
Here the harpist kindly gave a quick lesson on strumming techniques.
Breakfast complete, we get back in the car and drive into Washington D.C.
Geese grazing as the distinct buildings of Washington D.C.
become visible across the Potomac River.
A quick stop at the Capitol Building.
The January windchill kept us in the car much of the time.
The Washington Monument obelisk is ever visible.
The White House in the distance topped with a man in black.
The backside of the Lincoln Memorial as we turn to cross the Potomac River
via the Arlington Memorial Bridge.
The numerous white tombstones of Arlington National Cemetery come into view.
Now rounding the massive Iwo Jima Memorial.
There it is, morning in Washington on tight timetable.
We’ll be back…
