Road Trip part 2: DC and Charlottesville

Our next day of road tripping took us to Washington, D.C. for a quick stopover and the on to Charlottesville, VA. We did a really quick tour of the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument in DC, then walked over to see the White House from afar (tons of security). We were having a tough time finding some food in the area, and decided to go ahead and push on to Charlottesville, home of the University of Virginia. As we pulled in, we drove through the gorgeous UVa campus, and arrived at our hotel for the night. After checking in, we walked to the nearby downtown for some pasta. The downtown was pretty nice, a walking plaza full of little shops and restaurants. Quite a few of them were pricey, high class type places, but we ended up eating at a small pizza/pasta place. We ended up sleeping in pretty late the next morning, so we didn't get to explore much more of Charlottesville, but on to Damascus!
