I traveled to Washington for a week to visit a friend of mine, so I did get a chance to explore many of its main attractions. D.C. offers many tourist options ranging from monuments and parks to government buildings and museums, including the famed Smithsonian. A big plus is that just about everything is free! (1997) |
| Pretty much everyone is familiar with this house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The Washington Memorial is a well-known symbol of the city, seen here with the many ducks living in the reflection pond. Here's an overview of the city from the Washington Memorial which includes the Congressional Building. We got to sit in on a session of the Supreme Court and ended up seeing a case from my home state of Mississippi! The Iwo Jima Memorial stands as a reminder of the wars which the US Marine Corps has faced in its history. It snowed towards the end of the week, leaving the grounds of Arlington Cemetary under a very pretty blanket of white. |
