I grew up in the suburbs next to Washington DC. My father, who passed away recently, had always stayed in the old homestead.
So as we returned to attend the funeral services we, as a family, took two days to revisit the national mall and some of the many National Museums and the Capital Building. It was fast and a Whirlwind race to see just the highlights of some of our favorites and some newer places. You will be able to tell from the photos.
Herding two families and offspring on an outing like this is sorta like herding cats. But no-one was lost for long. Many saw the items that they where looking to see.
On Sunday December 28th we saw:
~ The Jefferson Memorial
~ National Museum of Natural History
~ National Museum of Art (West and a little of the East building)
~ National Museum of The American Indian (New to us)
On Monday December 29th we saw:
~ The US Capital Building
~ The Library of Congress ( Wow! )
~ The World War II Memorial

Dec. 28/29 2008 - Tour of Washington DC
If you have not seen your Nation's Capital yet... Do so. Book some time. It can be very cool. Very exhilarating. Very moving. And one heck of a lot of healthy walking. Do not miss the Jefferson and the new Roosevelt memorials.
