Today we went into Washington to meet up with my old school friend Lynn and her husband Dave who are on a coast to coast tour of the US, visiting an enviable number and selection of amazing places and national monuments.
With just a half a day of free time in the capital, we met up at the National Gallery of Art and then headed for Alexandria and then on the water taxi over to National Harbour.
The weather was not kind to us, unfortunately. Grey skies and drizzly rain. Very disappointing after such a beautiful sunny day yesterday.
There were plenty of people out enjoying the holiday weekend, despite the weather.
The evening was drawing in by the time we got back to Alexandria and onto the metro to return to DC itself, where we had to leave our visitors, after a great afternoon and evening of catching up!
How lovely to be able to catch up with them. Sounds like a great trip.
