I have not posted anything on here lately because I have been on vacation with my family. We went to Washington, D.C. for several days. They were certainly action packed but I really liked what we saw. That included:
- National Mall
- A lot of monuments, statues, and memorials – WWII Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, FDR Memorial, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, Boy Scout monument, Ulysses S. Grant Monument
- Washington Monument – rode up
- Museum of Natural History
- Museum of American History
- Air & Space Museum
- Freer Art Gallery
- Smithsonian Castle
- National Archives
- The White House
- Bureau of Engraving and Printing
- U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
- U.S. Capital
- U.S. Supreme Court
- The Library of Congress
- The Pentagon
- Arlington National Cemetery
- Chinatown
- Georgetown
- DuPont Circle/Embassy Row
Basically, it was a great vacation and we saw a lot. I would like to go back and see more/some things again when I have more time to do so in a more relaxed manner.
I am looking forward to actually relaxing for the first time this summer. That is not to happen yet though as I am leaving to go to a wedding in just a few minutes. Hopefully after getting back on Monday, things will slow down or at least allow for sleeping time before I go back to Denver for school.
