Four days’ break, a long weekend, time to travel some more! During the Easter break my friends and I took off to Washington D.C. for a short break. These four days were the most fun I have had in a long time. We arrived on the Friday night after an eight-hour drive, that part was not so much fun.
The days started with an 8am wakeup call and breakfast in the lobby. Once this was out of the way we were free to do as we pleased in D.C. On Saturday we decided to head to the Capitol building and walk down to the Washington Monument, then to the Lincoln Memorial. After this, we ventured to the Natural History Museum and after this, we managed to find a few shops, which we were able to have a quick browse in. Later that night we went out for dinner, believe it or not, but there was a Nandos in Washington! Do you even have to ask where we ate that night?
The second day we went to Awesome Con and George Town to see some more shops. If you know me, then you’d know that it is most certainly not like me to go to Comicon, yet here we were. In all honesty, it was quite fun; the majority of the time was spent with my friends laughing at me because I didn't have a clue who anyone was supposed to be. George Town, on the other hand, was definitely more up my street, unfortunately, I didn't buy anything.
The third and final full day was spent taking a tour of inside the Capitol building, visiting the Air and Space Museum and looking over Washington from the post office tower. This view was something quite spectacular, despite it being cloudy the view was still pretty impressive.
All in all, this was by far one of my favorite weekend breaks away. I would highly recommend that you visit D.C. if you get the chance to while studying in the USA.
