Here is what we saw:
The Capitol
The White House
The World War II Memorial
The Jefferson Memorial
The Martin Luther King Memorial
The Lincoln Memorial
The Raising of the Flag at Iwo Jima
I think this was my favorite one!
I was also able to visit the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, the National Holocaust Museum, and the American Indian Museum. The National Holocaust Museum was very moving, a must see when you are in Washington. I wasn't that impressed with the American Indian Museum.... I just thought there would be more to it, BUT the restaurant was an experience because the selections were based on different areas of Native Americans, like the Northwest, the Plains, and so on. The Air and Space Museum was fun, and I wish we had had time to go into the planetarium. Those things fascinate me, but we were running out of time to see it all.
There is nothing quite like being in our nation's capital. I already have the bug to plan a trip out here with the girls so we can see it all. I think, though, we will fly and rely on the Metro and taxis.....I don't believe our marriage could stand the crazy driving in the big town. ;-)
