Rolling Thunder

We decided to do a final walk around the White House and what a difference a day makes. As it's Memorial Day weekend in the States the city was swamped with people and the atmosphere was completely different. The area in front of the White House was cordoned off as they had events going on so we walked down to the Washington Monument to see the Mall for the last time. There is a big event that takes place called 'Rolling Thunder' over the long weekend which brings together half a million motorcycles from all over the US to ride together in Washington. The numbers were starting to surge when we left for the airport and the noise of all the Harley-Davidson was amazing.

We got to Washington Dulles Airport with loads of time to spare so we had a late lunch at Five Guys and it has to be one of the best burgers I've ever had. It tasted just the way you always hope a burger will when you see a picture of them. Fingers crossed I sleep on the plane...
