Holy hell dude
Embarrassingly that’s only a part of what I ate. Somewhere a small village is experiencing famine because of all the food I consumed.

We then did a loop around the Whitehouse and the Executive Building.
Checking out the new Trump Residence!
To the direct south is the Washington Monument.
The Eisenhower Executive Building
First Infantry Division Monument
Historical National Savings and Trust building.
The Capitol Building as seen looking east down Pennsylvania Ave.

I've always wanted to go there. That woke shit would piss me off too.Next we went to the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
To be honest the modern Pop Culture section of it kind of pissed me off. Lots of Woke stuff and everything was in English and Spanish. It just rubbed me the wrong way.

There was also a section that had steam engines and early gas and diesel engines.
There was also this, a gunpowder engine!! That has explosion written all over it!
These next pictures are from a display on how important the automobile is to American Culture and how much it played a part in our nation’s development.
Glad I have a Warn Zeon and not this!

But they had Grover and the Cookie Monster!Once you get out of the Pop Culture section of this museum it’s pretty good and there is a great display on how important the Jeep was to the WW2 war effort.
I wonder if I could get that rear full float axle off and successfully escape?

To finish the day off we stopped at Old Ebbitt Grill for a nightcap. This is Washington's oldest saloon and was originally founded in 1856. It has existed in several locations and is currently located in a cool building on the corner of 15th NW and G st NW.

Thanks for sharing these. I love DC and all the history. So many museums and monuments it’s really something everyone should experience though I do hate driving in DC and would recommend using the metro even with its flaws. Park in Northern Va and take the metro pretty much every time I have to go there anymore.

Well it’s been a great couple of days but it’s time to head back to the Virginia countryside so I can get some work done around the house. However there is one last stop- The DC Costco! District liquor laws are different than Virginia’s so Costco can sell booze in DC. In addition to the availability of booze the ethnic diversity in DC along with all the diplomatic missions located there means they often have items that other locations do not.
We arrived at 0900 so it was not crowded.
The expensive stuff.
I’ve been meaning to try this.
I’m a sucker for the variety pack.
Anybody try this yet?
Be strong!

Nice that they already had everything on pallets for the forklift to load up your jeep.
