Disney Cruise Line Dream - The Sigifamily on the 3-Night Bahamian Cruise...

We had wonderful dreams on our cruise from Port Canaveral (Florida) to Nassau (Bahamas) or rather Disney Castaway Cay (Disney Island). Port Canaveral: This port is the home of the Kennedy Space and just around „the corner“. And this port is also just one hour away from Walt Disney World Resort. Nassau, Bahamas: Former pirate territory, this island capital dazzles with its colonial charm, tropical beaches and unique shopping. After a great day in Nassau, we could enjoy the Pirate Night on our cruise. Disney Castaway Cay: Reserved for Disney Cruise Line Guests, this private island paradise is home to white-sand beaches and recreation for all ages. #DisneyCruiseLineDream #DCL #Nassau #PirateNight #CastawayCay #PortCanaveral

Washington DC πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Washington Monument, ...

Bureau of Engraving and Printing: Located in the heart of the Nation's Capital, the BEP's Washington, DC Tour and Visitor Center is a great place to learn all about U.S. paper currency.  We saw dollars being printed as we walked along the gallery overlooking the production floor (no photos allowed by law)! The Monument or rather the Washington Monument: Built to honor George Washington, the United States' first president, the 555-foot marble obelisk towers over Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, the Washington Monument was closed to visitors to allow for modernization of the elevator. Lincoln Memorial - Savior of the Union: "In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever." Beneath these words, the 16th President of the United States sits immortalized in marble as an enduring symbol of unity, strength, and wisdom.

Washington DC πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ DC stands for „District of Columbia“ (but is not a state). The White House is the president‘s private home. In 1791, George Washington picked the location but never lived there. The second president (John Adams) moved into the White House. The Capitol is where Congress meets to vote on new laws. It‘s located in the center of Washington DC. The Library of Congress is the largest one in the world.
