The Ratcliffes in North America

We've made this blog so you can see where we are, where we've been and what we've been up to whilst we're away. Let the adventure begin!

Sunny DC

So Thursday we woke up in a rather sunny but brisk Washington DC, headed straight for Obama's crib but he was busy unfortunately.  Actually there's a six month waiting list to see the white house, so we settled for a photo next to the Japanese tourists instead. We haven't seen all of DC but we are impressed with how clean and regal it is. One good thing about DC is that you can see most places by foot quite easily. We did, however, walk almost 10miles today! Here are some sights we saw along the way. Gawd bless 'merica!
The White House (Once burnt down by the British)


Capitol Hill (Where Laws are written and amended)

Washington Monument

The Lincoln Memorial

Large Scary 19 foot Lincoln
