Destination: Washington DC & Virginia Beach, USA
Date: August 12th, 2007 – August 19th, 2007
Transportation: Family road trip
Duration of trip: 8 days
My parents took my youngest brother and I on an 8 day road trip down to Washington DC and Virginia Beach, Virginia. This was my first visit to the US capital and we spent a beautiful, hot summer day visiting the monuments and a few of the Smithsonian museums, namely the Natural History Museum, and the Freer and Sackler Galleries to have a look at their Asian art collections. It was nice to see the war veterans’ memorials and the monuments in person as I have only ever seen them in pictures or on TV. We had a fantastic dinner at a famous Washington DC Chinese restaurant called Meiwah and the next day, headed off to Virginia Beach where we spent the rest of the week lying on the beautiful beach, jumping waves, watching dolphins, rollerblading along the boardwalk and celebrating my mother’s birthday as well as my 24th birthday. It was a GREAT way to end the summer.
