July 4th in Washington D.C.

July 4 weekend - 2010

Continuing with our tradition to visit as many neat places with fireworks, we are visiting our nation’s capital this year.

We leave on AirTran at 6:40am on Friday, July 2 and arrive in Washington DC at Noon.

We are staying at the Courtyard by Marriott, Embassy Row and will go there immediately from the plane because we have to check in and go to Representative Tim Johnson’s office for a 2:40pm tour of the United States Capitol.

On Saturday, July 3, Representative Johnson’s office has arranged for us to go on a tour of the White House what a special tour this will be for us.

Both of us have been to Washington DC in our past lives, but not together so this should be a great time.

The fireworks should be fantastic and we are looking forward to them as well as seeing everything we can in a very short period of time.

As this had been a hectic last couple of weeks, with the Bloomington Gold show, Barb’s job on the airplane is to catch up on her sleep and then pick out the places that she wants to visit and away we will run.

We leave Washington on Monday at 2:59pm and arrive back in Bloomington at 6:17pm.
