September 27, 2012 - Washington, D.C. Trip

I am having a great time on my visit to Washington, D.C.

I was able to visit Arlington National Cemetary, walk along the National Mall, and visit Chinatown. My wife and daughter were even able to meet me on their way to visit some family. We had dinner at the Eat First restaurant. I was also able to try out the Joy Luck House for dinner another night.

It was nice to see Arlington again. It is a good way to remember those who have given their lives in order to serve our country. Unfortunately, the Custis-Lee Mansion, which has ties from George Washington, all the way to General Lee, was under renovation. The last time I visited, they had the rooms set up with historic furniture and information about the time period. It looked like they were in the middle of a major restoration project.

I still have a little more time in here, so I will probably go back to the city to see some more of the monuments or museums tomorrow.

If you have never visited, Washington D.C. is a fun place, especially if you like history. Also, most of the monuments and museums in the area are free.

March 30, 2010 - Vacation

We had a great trip to Pennsylvania. We did not get to visit as many historic places as we wanted to on our visit, but we did get to visit with a lot of family. On the last day of our trip, we got to go to Washington, D.C. The history there made up for not being able to visit historic landmarks in Pennsylvania like we wanted to.

We got there around noon and found out that all of the tickets to see the Washington Monument were gone sometime between nine o'clock and eleven o'clock in the morning. Perhaps we will be able to see it next time we visit.

All of the monuments are beautiful, as are the buildings surrounding the National Mall.

Since we've been back, life has been busy. I have been taking another class and working over fourty hours per week whenever possible. Also, Baby is a little over nine months old and is now crawling.

Also, You can now become a fan on Facebook. Just search for David H. Troyer and my fanpage should be on the list.
