Capitol Wanderings


Zuidema vacation 2009. It's the "history" vacation this year--Washington D.C. This is a change of pace from what has been or the past two years, the "mountains, and get back to nature" vacation.

We left for Omaha on Sunday night after church. We stayed in a hotel so we wouldn't have to get ourselves and the kids up at o'dark thirty in the AM. Our trip was uneventful and we got a good night's sleep before our journey via the airways.

Thankfully, the flights all went well--no delays and our luggage followed us to D.C. The girls enjoyed the flying, especially the take-offs and landings.

After our arrival in Baltimore, we were "Super Shuttled" to our home for the week--a basement apartment about a mile from the Capitol building. We met our host, settled in for a bit, and then took a walk to a local Indian restaurant that was in the neighborhood--The White Tiger. We crossed the road to a small market to gather some groceries. After dropping them off at home, we finished the day by taking a little jaunt to the Capitol. Quite impressive by night. A great start for the week.
