Washington D.C. - Sights in the rain

Before heading back home on Sunday afternoon, I really wanted to take the opportunity to see the sights of Washington D.C. and the National Air and Space Museum at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Centre. Unfortunately, the weather didn't play ball and it rained all day.

After I yesterday in another part of the USA, I wanted to see Washington D.C. today. The weather is terrible; it's been raining all day. But I'm still trying to see most of the sights. I'm taking the Washington Flyer bus from the airport to the West Falls Church Metro station. The train then goes on to downtown.

Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery

White House

The Mall and Lincoln Memorial

More impressions of Washington DC sights in the rain

After a good five hours of running in the rain, I'm heading to Shake Shake to get a fortifying dinner. It was a friend's recommendation. It's probably one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. I'll definitely take a small one with me on the subway. :-)

I'm packing for my flight home. But before heading back home on Sunday afternoon, I definitely want to take the opportunity to visit the Air and Space Museum at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Washington, D.C.

Washington DC Air and Space Museum – Steven Udvar Hazy Center

On the day of my departure, I wanted to visit one of the most beautiful aviation museums anywhere. A shuttle bus took me directly from the hotel to the museum in ten minutes. From then on, I had three hours to see everything. Admission was free. There are two enormous halls: one for civilian and military aircraft, and another dedicated to space travel. The exhibition featured exhibits from all eras of aviation. The Space Shuttle impressed me the most.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to explore the exhibition in detail, but it was enough to get a good first impression. Until next time! You can find more information on the official website. Museum website.
