July 4:
Another Day in Washington D.C.
The tour was officially over after breakfast, but we opted for an additional night. From our hotel we could see the Washington Monument to our left, the Capital to our right and a part of the White House straight ahead. We enjoyed seeing them lit the 2 nights on the tour, but now we got to see the fireworks from our balcony. We moved the chairs to the balcony and left the TV on to the music and experienced a magical evening. Many of our tour had the same idea, and we had a wonderful extra day to see the sights.
Festival on the Mall
The Smithsonian was holding a festival on the mall. This coincided with our dates so we also had the opportunity to learn, hear music and taste food from Wales, the Latin America and African American cultures as we walked on the mall in Washington DC. We packed so many experiences into just 7 days. What we took away was priceless!
