We left Vegas today and sorry to report that we were leaving no richer than when we arrived - but we will return to make our millions! We got a taxi at 0545am getting us to the airport around 6am.
Our flight left Vegas on time at 8am and we actually arrived into Dulles Airport in Washington D.C 1 hour earlier than expected, the flight taking around 3 and a half hours. It took us a while but we eventually found the shuttle busses to get us into the city. 2 hours later we got to our hostel, HI Washington D.C. It took forever, the airport is quite a way from the city but it also had loads of drop offs which didn't help, but we did get to see quite a bit of the surrounding areas which was nice.
It is quite mild here at around 16 degrees, a lot warmer than we'd expected but the city does still have a winter feel to it, with some un-melted snow on the ground and the trees all bare - it was quite nice to see a winter sight again as it has been a while!
Our hostel is pretty standard but close to absolutelu everything which is a mega plus as we only have 1 full day here. After dumping our bags in our dorm we went out for dinner (D.C is ahead of Vegas by 3 hours so it was evening by now) before taking a stroll to see the Whitehouse! Whilst we were standing around the back of the Whitehouse the police moved everyone to the other side of the road and then closed the road off with their cars whilst standing guard. We saw a car pull up a while later and are 99.9% sure we saw the 2 Obama daughters!! The Whitehouse looked great all lit up but we are going to go back during the day tomorrow too.
