Family Trip to the U.S.

in May 2011, my family decided it was time to visit relatives in the US, especially my ailing mother-in-law (who died in August 2011). We arrived in the US and found that she was hospitalized but we thought nothing of it since it was just something like a stomach flu. So we went on a sightseeing tour in Washington, DC. Driving to Virginia to visit a friend was no mean feat. But driving to Washington, DC and then finding a parking lot is like going to the jungle and looking for a lost tribe for the first time. Few wrong turns, getting nowhere, getting lost, ending up at the Pentagon, backing up into the traffic, getting lost around the complex of the government center. But once there, we had a good time of looking into every building that stirred our interest. There are some things that would never change in that place such as the Washington monument, the
Congress Building and the White House. Seeing these places is like travelling through history. Our children had the greatest field trip in history.

Kinda lost. Looking at the maps. 

The Washington monument in the background.

Museum of Natural History. Several school children were having a field trip that day. This is the most visited part of the complex.

Wacthing a movie in 3D. The dinosaurs!

Biggest tree ever cut!

The Congress building.

We should have taken this BRT Tour.

Lost and finding some interesting sights.
