Well here are some of the pictures we took from our trip to Washington D.C. - if you have never been there you need to check it out. We didn't get to see everything we wanted so someday we will make another trip out there hopefully
We are standing in front of the White House But you really can't see the house very well. The person who took this forgot to include it...she was concentrating more on us I guess.
This is the Captial Building (the back side) as seen from The National Mall
Washington Monument...It is really huge! We didn't get a chance to go inside for the tour...maybe someday we will.
Lincoln Memorial. The reflecting pool was drained :(
There is Jes and Brett...
A picture of the Washington Monument and the Veterans Memorial
The kids standing in front of Lincoln
The worlds 6th largest Cathedral - Washington Cathedral
The carving inside the Cathedral is exquisite
Gargoyles on the outside which Brett found fasinating
Of course we had to go to China Town for some very delicious sushi - mmmm!
Same place just taken at night
A bronze statue taken from inside of The American Indian Smithsonian - their most recent museum
The Capital taken from Capital Hill (front side)
Guards posted every where (front and back) they stand there all day!
The figure on top of the Capital - "Freedom" is his name
Picture of George Washington on the ceiling of the Rotunda
Another shot - the Rotunda is where people can pay their respect for presidents who have passed away.
The tour inside the Capital is pretty cool. It all starts underground.
A picture of the lamp posts around the Capital
Brett's fun picture! He is holding the Washington Monument in his hands :)
There is so many more pictures we took and maybe sometime I will post more but this is all for now
This looks super fun! I can't wait to take my kids there someday. American history is so fascinating.
