MONOGRAMS 2009: HISTORICAL AMERICA (VHB)
8 days from Washington, DC to Washington, DC
Discover the history of Washington, DC and the beauty of Virginia. Start in America's capital with its history, power, and spectacular beauty. Enjoy the city's famous monuments-the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials, Washington Monument, and Vietnam Veterans and WWII Memorials. Explore the Smithsonian's many museums, including the Air and Space Museum, the National Gallery, and the National Museum of Natural History. In the evening, choose from Washington's many fabulous eateries and take in a performance at the Kennedy Center or Ford's Theater. Continue west to the Shenandoah Valley and through lush rolling countryside to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Don't miss beautiful Skyline Drive. Next, on to Charlottesville. Your journey takes you through an area that Thomas Jefferson called the "Eden of the country." Visit his Monticello home atop a mountain in Albemarle County, described as one of the country's foremost architectural masterpieces. Then, east to Williamsburg. Along the way, stop in Richmond, the "Capital of the Confederacy" and one of the most handsome capitals in the South. Experience Colonial Williamsburg, the most extensively restored 18th-century town in the U.S. Perhaps visit Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the "New World," and Yorktown, where independence was won when General Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
