Rare Rogueperson Posted September 15, 2023 Author #129 Share Posted September 15, 2023 So today, we decided to visit the Intrepid. I personally think the Yorktown in Charleston, SC is better, but its still an amazing place. Its the Enterprise!!! I actually saw this when it was in DC. Also, when flying out for our honeymoon, she was at Dulles when we flew out in preparation to fly here i think. Also here is the Growler I think they said its the only nuclear missile sub open to the public. Its tight in here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare FionaMG Posted September 15, 2023 #131 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I loved visiting Intrepid when we were in NY before our Anthem cruise back in April. It was one of my favourite things that we did there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mompou restaurant- highly recommended! WTH! They charge 4.94 for a transaction fee? What’s that for, someone ringing up the check? 🙄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we moved 10 miles farther south, we lived 5 miles from this location (Udvar-Hazy) near Dulles Airport. Just for an FYI, like all Smithsonian museums, admittance is free, but parking costs $15 per vehicle. Besides the actual museum which is full of all kinds of airplanes including the Enola Gay, there is a mock up of the death star used in filming for Star Wars. There is also a tower you can watch planes take off and land. There are uniforms, weapons, planes, etc, The original space shuttle that was there was moved several years back and replaced with the current one. I have pictures taken from my back yard of the original one leaving Dulles on the back of the 747. I can never remember which shuttle is where.

Now we are back on course. Oh my! Been there and done that, not having to be winched off because of illness but due to intended evacuation of all the passengers. As it turned out, only 450 or so were evac'd by helicopter. Hope the person will be ok. BTW...happened to notice your fall trips on the Jewel. Now that so many of these northern itineraries are going out of Boston or Quebec, doing B2B (so as to return to Cape Liberty) looks like a nice option, except that for me 3 weeks starts to get a bit too long. This (Greenland) cruise is already moved to roundtrip Boston for next year. Edited September 16, 2023 by OnTheJourney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Rogueperson Posted September 16, 2023 Author #148 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I meant to post this last night, but internet crapped out in my room. Coming out of Manhattan is interesting. Last night, the headliner was They were pretty impressive. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had not gone to see Cirque du Soleil last week for our anniversary. So seeing this show was like…meh after that show still fresh in my head. I finally made it to the MDR for dinner. Menu These are “bay scallop” not escargot. They were ok, not the same even though its the same setup. I thought this was Beef Carpaccio at first. Its not. Vitello Tonnato. Beef Tenderloin And “Pecan Pie”. This wasn’t that good. So the end of Day 2. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
