Sadly, we are leaving Boston, I loved this town. Bostonians move at a slower pace, they are super friendly and really proud of their town. June is gay pride month in Boston and there were rainbow flags everywhere. The news of the day when we woke up was that someone had stolen one of the flags from outside a shop. Whew, first world problems.
We had breakfast at a little restaurant overlooking the Commons and Ubered to Back Bay Station to catch our Amtrack to Washington.
It was a 7 hours train ride that took us back to New York along the beautiful waterways of the area. It was a good day to travel as the weather was overcast and rainy. The trip from NY to Washington passed through Philadelphia, Delaware and Baltimore, these areas were not so pretty from the train as they were more industrial.
Washington Union station was beautiful and we walked out to a glorious, sunny, hot and somewhat humid afternoon.
Our Washington W Hotel is centrally situated, across the road from the US Treasury which is next to the White House. It is very different from our previous 2 hotels that were smart, quiet and sedate. This hotel is trendy, loud and definitely pitched at the millennial generation. It is however fun, hip and friendly and we are enjoying the change.
After a long day sitting on the train we went for an evening walk, the sun was still high in the sky and it was very hot. Gray has been wanting to eat at a proper American steak place but all we could find was a burger joint. I ordered Harry’s baby burger, glad I didn’t go for Harry’s huge one (burger that is).
After dinner we strolled back via the White House, getting a great evening view of it and Washington Monument.
