Washington D.C.

I just got back from 5 days in Washington DC about a week ago. My sister and I went on a trip to DC since we had not been there before. We were going non-stop the whole time that we were there and took around 500 picts. We saw all of the monuments (during the day and at night), all of the Smithsonian's that were open (except a couple of art museums), went to the spy museum, saw money being printed, went to the Holocaust museum(amazing!), went to Arlington Cemetery with the Grave of the Unknown Soldier and JFK memorial, saw the White House (and Marine One taking off!!), saw the Pentagon from a distance (just looks like any other building from ground level), Saw the capital building and the Library of Congress and much, much more. We walked about 10-15 miles per day and took the Metro Train to the places that we could not walk to or when we were heading back from where we had walked. It was a lot of fun. We ate at a lot of great restaurants and had fun seeing the are. I am going to put a few pictures here for you to enjoy.

For some reason this car kept following me around the whole time I was in D.C.!!!

The museums did not allow pictures so you can use your imagination to picture what they were like or you can just go there and see them for yourself!
