Day 2 in Washington DC

I'm sorry I've fallen behind with this. I'll do my best to catch up before we head to NYC.

So our second day in DC was Wednesday and we headed straight to Arlington Cemetery while we could still use our hop-on hop-off bus passes. We then drove past The Pentagon but you are not allowed to take photos of it. You can see on the side of the building where the brick colour changes for where they had to rebuild one side after September 11th. We did spend some time at the Pentagon City Fashion Centre though (not to sound insensitive or anything but that is where the bus stopped).

We then caught the bus to the Washington Monument and then walked to the World War Two Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial.

We also paid a visit to the International Spy Museum which was fun.

We had dinner at an awesome pasta place called Vapino which is a European chain that has started opening in the US (there is one in Aust but it is in Brisbane). Basically you get a card when you enter and then whenever you order something, you swipe the card and then at the end you pay the balance. You can go up and order your food and watch them make it. It was so tasty :D That probably doesn't sound that interesting but with the food choices here, it was a highlight!
