The traffic around DC was so bad on our last day, leaving Chapel Hill, that we almost decided to skip the Washington tour we had planned. But at the last minute, because the traffic on the beltway was almost bad enough that it wouldn't matter if we took a two hour detour, we'd still be getting right back into the traffic jam, we decided to drive in. It was a perfect little introduction to DC. We saw the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Washington Monument, the reflecting pool, and the World War II Memorial, along with many other large and imposing government buildings. It was super busy but everyone was wearing masks outdoors and so we felt pretty safe. The kids enjoyed seeing the buildings they'd read about and seen in photos, as well as the ice cream/snow cones.
