Washington, D.C.

We arrived at Washington, D.C. on May 25, 2008 by plane to Dulles International Airport, and took bus to the hotel which is close to the Mall. It had a lot of traffic since the next day was Memorial Day and they closed some roads as well as there were thousands of veterans on Harleys Davidson around Arlington and D.C. area.

We went to visit the US Capital, National Museum of Natural History, and National Air and Space Museum which all are free of charge. We were suggested to go to International Spy Museum which we found the most interesting museum because of its partial interactive exhibits which invite visitors to participate. We went to see North Façade of the White House and walked along the Mall from Washington Monument, passed World War II Memorial and Reflecting Pool to Lincoln Memorial. We are recommended to go to Full Kee, Chinatown, to have Hong Kong Style Wanton Soup, it's very good so we went there twice.

We crossed the Rock Creek to Georgetown which buildings and surroundings are different from D.C. We are recommended to have Italian food at Café Milano which is really good. For entertainment, we went to listen to Jazz music by Laurence Elder at Blues Alley.

West front of the Capital, facing the Mall, is the site of presidential inauguration, concerts, and other ceremonial events.
