Nov 2016
It was a weekend spent in Virginia Beach
The trip took a long time to reach
It was through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel
Then finally reaching in 6 hours
But that was getting to the destination
Homeward bound was up close and personal in becoming direct
It had that affect
We journeyed back taking the same I-95 route
However, our Bus Driver stated he wanted to get close to Washington, DC
Well that wasn’t a bad idea or was it?
We entered in what we thought was the Harbor Tunnel look alike
I realized it wasn’t the tunnel after all because there were busts of past Presidents and there were turnoffs for Senators throughout
When we looked up, we were in the Capitol right under the Rotunda
It was a very historical sight along with sunbeams giving light
How’s that for Washington close up
Right in the heart and where history and decisions are made
Yet we managed to get out and maneuver around all the Capitol Statues
Just what were the Statues you ask, what else, some past Presidents
As we got out, the Bus Driver wanted directions to I-95
A walking passerby was asked, but was told, we were already on it
Now that was an embarrassing moment
Well the Nation’s Capitol saying thanks for entering in
Sorry your visit came to an end
The thought, remember to plan ahead in the route, and that is when and moving to can.
