Delaware (#3 on our countdown, for those keeping track) was a short stay. Just one night at the Delaware Seashore State Park. The campground was by the sea. We walked to the beach, but forgot to take any photos (apologies). It was very nice, and we met great people there.
To explore DC, we stayed in Maryland (#2) at the Cherry Hill Park campground recommended by folks we met in our travels, and there was a Metro bus stop on the property. Everyday, we could hop on the bus, which dropped us at the train station, and made it easy for us to get anywhere in Washington DC. Not only was the easy access to DC awesome, but the campground itself was amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful, the bath houses were very clean and spacious, and they had many amenities. Anyone wanting to RV it to DC should check them out.
We loved Washington DC. We’ve both been many times before, but this time, we were on our own schedule, and could do whatever we wanted. One place I’ve always wanted to go is the Old Ebbitt Grill. So that is where we had lunch on our first day. Founded in 1856, it is the oldest saloon in Washington DC, and the atmosphere was great. Couldn’t think of a better way to start this leg of our trip.
Our days were filled with museums and monuments. The views from the top of the Washington Monument were amazing. The people were awesome. Anytime we paused to look at our map, someone stopped to offer help. We watched the changing of the guard and wreath ceremonies at the tomb of the unknown soldier. No matter your political opinions, the energy and history of DC can’t be beat.
Ah – you thought we skipped one, didn’t you? We counted New York as #4, because we forgot to start the countdown earlier, so it got counted later (our adventure, our rules)
