Why Unintentional Tourist?

The idea for this blog came from an experience of being trapped in traffic after a parade. Simply getting out of DC was out of the question because the police were making the decisions of where to go.

While driving down Constitution Avenue, I came to realize I was an unintentional tourist! I had already passed Pennsylvania Avenue where I saw the Capitol and the White House. Turning onto Constitution, I saw the Washington Monument and the building of the National Museum of African the History and Culture. As I drove down Constitution, I saw the Lincoln Memorial and Jefferson Memorial. I crossed the bridge to Arlington Cemetery. 

Nearly every trip in this area makes any driver and unintentional tourist. This blog will be both a "tourist" blog as well as a blog for fulfilling course requirements for a digital history course.
