We hired a car from Newark Airport and headed south to Washington. Before leaving Australia I bought the tomtom maps for North America for my tomtom at a cost of $80, these have been invaluable and highly recommended:



Capitol Building in Washington



Very friendly squirrels much like London



President Lincoln. This is enormous!



Another friendly squirrel



The White House



Heading south on I-95



Cool plate



Next stop, Wilmington, North Carolina. For those in the know, this is the home of a lot of the Dawson's Creek filming, One Tree Hill etc. Went and saw a few sites and stayed for July 4th which is a huge deal in America. This is the USS North Carolina from WWII outside our hotel window.



Bridge that lifts to allow taller vessels through



This went past our window and took us by surprise, was massive



Sepia sunset shot of a pier from our window



Train museum next to the hotel, didnt go in but took a few shots outside



Fireworks for July 4th. Mental note, do not park your car near a display. It doesnt do lacqour any good!



Next trip over to Atlanta. US highways are so good to drive on but heaps of cops out as it was the long weekend.



Today's visit to Coca-Cola World in Atlanta.



Inside one of the rooms



Tasting room, 64 Coca-Cola products from around the world. Try the Beverly from Italy if anyone comes here



Outside view of the Coca-Cola World



That is where we are up to currently. We have done all of the above in the past 2 weeks and have one week left.

For those of you on my facebook, there are heaps of pictures on there as I am sure you have seen.

This is my new toy that I only drove for 1 day before I left so am looking forward to getting back to Australia to drive!

Will update the Las Vegas ones in a few days
