Washington D,C.

(Beltsville, MD) Hi 83  Lo 63
Above is the Cherry Hill RV Park.  It is on a list of 10 of the best RV parks in the US.  They have 400 sites and 2 pools with a lifeguard.  Above is the check-in counter in a large building.  The brown building is the bus depot for the city and tour buses that come into the park.  Click on the link of the parks name to see more.  Too much to put all here.
Here is Union Station Where Amtrak, city buses, taxis, subway, and tour buses come together.  More than 90, 000 people pass through this station each day.  It was first opened in 1907.
On to the museums all over town.  I bought a 2 day ticket that allowed me to jump on and off the Big Bus which is a double decker bus.  
Here is the Jefferson Memorial. 

Here is the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument separated by the Reflecting Pool.  I didn't walk up the steps cause I was tired and there were too many people.  
Here is a portion of a museum that focused on food.  Julia Childs kitchen, Food on the Go, and the lunch counter from Greensboro, NC which is part of the sit-ins and the non-violent protests in 1960.
Scenes of Vietnam...Ulysses S. Grant bought this carriage during his first term.  This is George Washington's chair ..it has been recovered.
