Washington DC, Virginia and North Carolina (catch up blogging)

After Baltimore we headed south to Washington DC area. Since we had taken a week long trip last year to DC we just spent acouple days here. We stayed north at the Cherry Hill RV Park. We only went into DC one day and after driving past some of our favorite sites we parked and we into the "kid's portion" of the Holocaust Museum. With Cindi's Jewish family blood we wanted to give the kids a lighter dose of this incredible world tradegy. We ate that night north of the OMNI Hotel in North DC where we had stayed a year and a half before. We remembered this burito place beacuase the California is in its name and I tried the hottest hot sauce on their wall of options last time and almost died. I think its called Dave's Gourmet Insanity Hot Sauce.

The next day we pulled out and went to Mount Vernon, George Washington's house. We missed this on our previous trip to DC. We saw the entry movie and then toured the house and the grounds. The newer museum at the end of the tour was very impressive and informative.

After a night in a WalMart and some shopping at some outlet malls. Then headed to Richmond, VA
