After Williamsburg we continued our Northern trek 128 miles to Lorton, VA. We stayed at a lovey, and nearly empty state park from November 15th to 19th, the
Pohick Bay Regional Park. I have never seen more leaves on the ground than here, the boys were in pile-making-heaven.

Our main reason for choosing Lorton was for it's proximity to Washington DC. We had originally planned to visit the White House, but decided to postpone that for another trip. Having a puppy is just a pain sometimes!
We did spend an entire day exploring DC though, and after dealing with parking I totally understand why bus tours are so popular here!
We did a drive by of the White House and then parked (kind of near) the
National Mall.

I was really surprised how many people were around, considering it was a Tuesday in November. The
Lincoln Memorial was even larger (and more crowded) than I had imagined.

| Oh hi there Abe |
The
Korean War Memorial and especially the
Vietnam Veteran's Memorial are very sobering and well worth the trip.
We also walked through a place I had never even heard of - the
National WWII Memorial
