D.C.

A few days ago I returned from a trip to Washington, DC.
This is the last of my "must see" places in the US.

The first day I pretty much spent most of my time saying, "Omigod!  I'm in DC"!

Washington Monument

White House

Orangutan Crossing (National Zoo)

Panda (National Zoo)

National Cathedral

Ford Theater where Lincoln was assassinated.

Mary Lincoln's gown

Lincoln's hat he was wearing when he was assansinated.

Iwo Jima

Tomb of the Unknowns

Vietnam Memorial

Korean War Memorial

Waiting to ride an elevator to the top of Washington Monument.

Spirit of St. Louis

The United States Capital

There was so much to see and do in DC.  To list everything we saw and did would make the list quite long but it would include:

The Hope Diamond
Archie Bunker's Chai
All the inauguration gowns of the First Ladies
The Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution,  Emancipation Proclamation
The Exorcist stairway in Georgetown
The flag that inspired the writing of the song "Star Spangled Banner"
Library of Congress
John Kennedy's resting place and eternal flame.
Tomb of the Unknowns changing of the guard
Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, WWII Memorial
Union Station

And so much more.  To see it all with my own eyes; original documents that are hundreds of years old, artifacts that founding fathers wore or used or held...  It's unforgettable.
