Today was random. We went on an unscripted trip to the tip of the Tidal Basin, right near where so many of the national monuments are. We went on search for the little known larger-than-life sculpture, "The Awakening".
"Travel Zoo Unleashed" had identified this DC secret and no one we knew had ever seen or heard of the beast.
8 wrong turns, 1 badly printed google map, 1 near death experience and 1 hour later we were there.
Directly across from the Landing strip of the National Airport, "The Awakening" is an awe inspiring scene. Children picking a nose, grown men climbing an elbow, and almost no tourists....a local resident's dream.
No one should miss this outing.
Follow Ohio Dr. past the FDR memorial, past the Jefferson Memorial into West Potomac Park until the road loops around. A great source for our trip was Roadside America.
Video to be posted to YouTube shortly.
