Some Touring of DC

Here are some of the cool monuments and other places we have visited in DC!

This is me and Danny in front of the Washington Monument, normally you can go to the top of it, but since there was an earthquake here right before we came out, no one can go up right now because there was some damage. 

This is one of my favorite memorials that we have seen out here, it is stars representing the soldiers that died during WWII. Each star represents 100 soldiers... "The Price of Freedom."

They have a column for every state... so here we are in front of the Utah column!

Here we are in front of the Lincoln Monument!

So normally that muddy pond is a big reflection pond... but it is under construction now, so you can only see a small part of the Washington Monument reflection.

This is part of the Lincoln Monument. Lincoln is known for the many great things he did as President of the United States... these are stamps from all over the world that have him on them. Danny is pointing at the stamp from Colombia!

Here we are in front of the White House, Danny was pretty tired and hungry at this point... 

But we went to Red Robin after touring all the monuments all day for his birthday! So he was happy again!

Danny gave me a tour of the Capitol Building... not going to lie, his tour was a 

lot better than the first one we took!

This is on the Senate side of the Capitol Building... normal tours don't get to go to this part... so it was pretty cool! A lot of the tiles and paint are original from when it was built, not always the prettiest, but its cool that it has been there for so long!

This is the oldest statue in the Capitol Building, its of George Washington... if you couldn't tell.

This is little door is on the House side of the Capitol Building... we aren't sure what it leads to but we think that it is either a door for the House Elves or a door that leads to Narnia!

We went to the Botanical Garden that is just to the side of the Capitol... they had some really cool plants and flowers there.

I think I liked the garden a bit more than Danny, so its probably good that it wasn't too big!
