Day 10: Destination Washington, D.C.

jamie — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 14:00:00 +0000

Today we are heading to Washington, D.C. for what is likely to be our last significant sightseeing stop before we cross over the border back into Canada. Our stop in Harrisonburg, Virginia last night put us only 2.5 hours outside Washington, D.C. so we hope to make it into the city before lunch and spend the afternoon seeing a few of the major sights. It should be an interesting day seeing the nation’s capital city.

Here is our driving route for today:

Day 8 Plan: Arkansas to Tennessee

Our current plan for today is to leave Arkansas and head to Tennessee, stopping for a look around Memphis and to stop for the night in Nashville. It will probably be a much shorter driving day than the past 3-4 so we have some time to either relax at the beginning or end of the day or for doing some sightseeing. We had thought about visiting Graceland in Memphis purely for the novelty of it, but neither of us is enough of an Elvis fan for it to be worth the time or the money to go! We will see what happens as the day goes on, perhaps we will decide to go a little further than Nashville but we will probably do something as simple as go somewhere for a nice sit-down dinner. We’ve been so busy go-go-go since we left Reno that we have mostly been grabbing whatever is convenient to eat on the road, while staying reasonably healthy. Subway has been a favourite stop so far!

Day 7 Plan: Texas to Oklahoma to Arkansas

Today should be another steady day of driving. We plan to make another significant jump from Texas through Oklahoma and then into Arkansas. We hope to make it to Little Rock, the home of Bill Clinton, and stop for the night. Perhaps we’ll get to see some Clinton memorabilia before departing on Thursday!
