Non Disney Travels

Washington D.C. – Trip Home Pictures

This past week I am spent a few days touring Washington D.C. I know it is not Disney but I thought some may be interested so here are some cell-phone pictures from my trip. To see all of my posts visit my 2017 Washington D.C. Summary Page. This post features a couple pictures from the drive home, the airport, DC from the air, and a Disney picture to close out the trip.

As we waited we spotted two helicopters on the horizon.. only had my cell phone so just specs right above the buildings.. but it is Marine One on approach to the White House.
After dropping off the president the helicopter took off and flew by.

As soon as you get in the air you get a nice view of the city as you climb then bank away.
