DC duck tour!!

Today we got up fairly early and went for the hotel breakfast. I had fruit loops, which were super weird and Tom had dodgy doughnuts!! 

We went into the city and our first stop was Obama's place! Obviously Barack didn't get the memo that we were in town so sadly missed out on meeting us. 

After seeing the White House we walked to Union station, with a bit of retail therapy and lunch on the way! I got a pretty top from Forever 21! We had lunch in Pret, I had a California club sandwich and Tom had a New York Meatball wrap!! 

We got to the station and boarded our vessel for the DC duck tour! The captain was called Captain Bucky and he was hilarious, he told us a funny joke to do with porridge when we told him we were from Norwich!! The tour was awesome, a really great way to see all of DC's monuments and memorials and learn things about them in the process! There is definitely an added excitement when you get on to the water, although it was a bit scary when Captain Bucky let some of the children at the front actually drive the boat!!! 

After we got back from the duck tour we got the Metro to the Washington monument, which was awesome, and from there we walked to the Lincoln memorial, which is way cooler in real life than in Night at the Museum 2!! 

Then we set off on a wild goose chase searching for a place called DC pizza for dinner, with directions based on a series of screenshots from my phone and offline google maps. Got a bit hot and bothered!! It was worth the fuss though, as it was amazing pizza with a cool twist, where you fill in a form about what sort of pizza you want and then watch them make it for you and put it on a conveyor belt, where it goes into an oven and comes out the other end cooked to perfection!! I would definitely recommend this restaurant, as the pizzas were great and it was fun to watch them being made. The best part is that I didn't finish mine, so I brought it back to the hotel, popped it in the fridge and will be having it for breakfast!!! 

Tomorrow is meant to be humid and stormy so we are going to do the Smithsonian museums!!
