It is about a mile from the capital to the Washington Monument. And I'm thinking we walked that a few times. Along the way, we popped into a couple of the Smithsonian museums: Natural History and American History. We only spent maybe 45 minutes in each. I'm looking forward to spending more time in each on our next trip.
Noteworthy: Ben and the creepy bunny.
Also, the Stephen Colbert. And it really is by the restrooms. A defining moment in my life.
Finally, we saw the Lincoln Memorial. He was much bigger than I thought it would be!
This picture is kind of blurry, but I wanted to include the quote. I thought it was very poetic.
View from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
The White House from a distance. We didn't have time to get very close. Next time I really want to take a tour.
It was such a quick trip, but absolutely worth it! I can't wait to go back!
