Washington DC Part 2: Day 1

On Day 2, we began with breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn, having the usual American Style breakfast, eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes and toast.  After we took the metro to the Washington Mall, we lined up to get the free tickets for the Washington Monument.  It is imperative that people go early to grab the tickets or else they may run out.  After grabbing the tickets, we went to go see the Department of Printing and Engraving.  Basically the US bills factory. After the long, yet interesting tour, we went to meet our friends near the monument.  Then at about 12:00 AM, we went to the Washington Monument tour,  The Washington Monument is a must do when going to DC.  It is informative and very good for kids.  After the tour, we went to Ben's Chili Bowl for lunch.  Ben's Chili Bowl is a very famous restaurant in DC.  It is located on U St.  This restaurant is so famous, that President Obama visited as well as Bill Cosby.  After lunch, we visited the famous Spy Museum; that museum is good for teens and is as well very informative.  The Spy Museum is a huge collection of everything that has to do with spies.  Also in the museum there is a separate part that is mainly for teens.  After that we went to a sports bar for dinner called the Barking Dog.  Finally, after a long day, we headed back to the hotel.
