We left Newark, Deleware at 7am today with Washington DC as our destination. Once we arrived in Washington, we planned on driving by the White House, but so many roads are now blocked off that it’s impossible to drive by. We did get a couple of pictures from one of the main roads that runs in front of it. Next stop was at the Smithsonian Institute where we had planned on touring the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of American History. We got to tour the Natural Museum, but the American History Museum was closed for renovations….just our luck. We enjoyed our tour of the Nautral Museum, then it was on to Virginia.
Our travel through Virginia took us through some gorgeous countryside. We took the Skyline Drive through Shenandoah National Park. This drive is over 100 miles of smooth winding roads over the Apalacian Mountains. This was a much needed treat for us after spending so much time recently in the big cities on the East coast. We took our time and just soaked up the scenery.
Our day ended in Beckley, West Virginia…432 miles today. After a great 9 days, tomorrow we will head for home!!!
