    Didn't know Persian food was so good...the details of how he cooked the food and his enthusiasm makes you want to visit his restaurant. The only thing I would suggest is a slice of avocado 🥑 with the white rice 🍚 as an added kick! Looking forward to seeing the aerospace museum...since my favorite government agency has always been NASA...

      Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum out by Dulles is open and definitely one of the greatest space museums there is. That's where the Shuttle is. I wonder if the capsule from Artemis-1 will eventually end up there.

    You and Illy must have had some of the best memories in D.C.!💕🌺 And if so, then I know that you guys will always treasure them! The Persian restaurant along with the other great restaurants there must have been amazing and with great, supportive friends,as well!Take care, and have a great Lewis and Clark adventure!🛻🌄🏞🌅🤗

    Thankyou Robert for your tour of DC . It brought back memories of when myself and my wife brought our kids there about 20 years ago. Me and my wife are about to start a new chapter of our life and were about to purchace our dream Rv and your videos have given us numerous ideas about were to go and what to do. Thanks for inspiring us on our new and future journeys.

    I live in the DC suburbs and have been working in downtown DC for more than 20 years now. There was a time that I worked in the building to the right of the Dubliner restaurant. I currently work in the wharf area. You mentioned one area that I didn't know, the Gravely point. I will surely visit that.

  • @TexasPegP
    @TexasPegP 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Hi Robert 🤗 great footage of DC. I went to DC with my family as a kid when Nixon was President-remember it well. My most vivid memory is of the Tomb of the unknown soldier and the changing of the guard there. And Arlington cemetery where so many patriots are buried. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Thanks for sharing ❤️

    That beef kabob looked amazing! Robert, I always find your videos so inspiring. Years ago when Dylan played hockey, we would visit the DC area and I'll never forget the time we went one winter and the reflecting pool was frozen over and we actually walked on it! Great town, great video thanks brother!

  • @petem6846
    @petem6846 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another wonderful video Robert! Wonderful comment starting at 36:22, "I really like Washington DC, I like what it symbolizes ... ." In the midst of partisanship it's hard to always remember what our form of government has achieved. Maybe it takes someone with your background, who choose to live here, to remind us of this. Thanks so much!

  • @BikesBoatsBivouacs

    The wharf area is the most appealing area of DC, it gives me an idea for a trip. Nice job Robert.

  • @ArtisticFeathers
    @ArtisticFeathers 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Wow, you visited the WHARF! My husband designed most of the wayfinding and signage and points of interest in that area. He's currently working on phase 2 of the project. It was cool to see some of his work premier on your video (such as the cute little smores truck and the Anthem theater).

  • @jeannie8171

    As a Sweden been in US 5 times and won a trip to DC I was so surprised how nice and fantastic that city is. We did have a car, also drove to Niagara falls and Cleveland! Many thanks Robert for you fine videos. So very well done and I share your thoughts about what you are seeing.

    Great video as always, You must keep your truck's windshield squeaky clean to get all those great shots w/o glare or artifacts. I was supposed to go to Georgetown but it didn't quite work out, big regert on my part. You used to be able to get way closer to the WH.

    The sculpture made 3 originals of the Iwo Jima statue... The big scale one is in DC, One is located I believe at the Marine Corps Paris island facility, And the 3rd is located on veterans Parkway near the bridge in Cape coral, Florida.

    As I am watching you drive through DC, I am remembering going there in the Summer of 2002. That traffic was so nerve racking, blue knuckle driving. I parked in a shopping mall garage, and took the DC Metro around, and including the Pentagon. They were repairing the sight of 9/11 and working on another side of the building as well.
    I see in your video that the Capitol building is being worked on. I walked around in the Capitol area, and the White House. I would love to visit again with my sister, niece and her two daughters. Maybe next summer, as they are already back in school.
    I do love DC, there are so many neat places to see. Been there twice while I was residing in Northern Kentucky and drove the first time and a passenger the 2nd time with two other ladies.
    I want to stop by and say hi to Joe and Dr. Jill Biden. He sure has been keeping busy, getting all those bills passed. I believe those fences are taller and for good reason.
    I haven't seen that wharf area, that is neat.

    I bet the President was in one of those three helicopters flying over the Potomac that you captured. They fly three at once for security reasons so no one can actually tell which one he is in. I grew up in DC, worked there over 25 years, living now for years in Arlington, VA and they fly over my home frequently. Sometimes I have to duck because it sounds like they are coming through the window the sound is so loud.

    104 dollar per night doesn’t sound cheap for a camper spot. Is that for the location close to DC or do you get a lot of bells and whistles for that money?
