After a marathon train trip from Raleigh to Washington, D.C., our first meanderings around "The District" involved a visit to Lafayette Square to check out the White House and Pennsylvania Avenue.
We then ventured south of the White House and north of the National Mall to browse The Ellipse, where the First Division Monument -- honoring the division's soldiers who fought in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and Desert Storm -- sits just in front of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Our evening ended with a visit to Old Ebbitt Grill, the city's oldest bar and restaurant. The bacon-horseradish glazed meat loaf and a couple of local IPAs were the right way to cap a whirlwind first day.
