Most people tend to take vacations after a hectic period in their lives; a time to unwind, relax, and recharge again. This time around, I decided to be different. I went on a lovely vacation with my family before the hectic-ness that will await me this fall. What can I say? I like being different.
We drove down to Florida–gasp! That tends to be the reaction I get every time I tell them, but you know what? For every Florida vacation I’ve taken in my life, I’ve always driven down. Frankly, I enjoy it a lot more because you get to stop along the way and see some of the beautiful cities and hidden gems that the East Coast is home to.
Our first stop was Washington, D.C. Now when I say, I’ve practically seen everything in DC over the years, I mean it. We ended up staying away from the Mall and went to the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. We had never been and Dad has been itching to go for awhile now.
