I had an amazing time in DC. We were fortunate enough to visit many places, including Arlington National Cemetery, The National Museum of Natural History, The NationalMuseum of American Hisory, the Air and Space Museum, the Jefferson Memorial, the FDR Memorial, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.the Korean War Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. My favorites were the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, the National Archives, and the National Museum of American History.
This is right outside of Arlington National Cemetery.
Marine Corps Memorial, very close to Arlington National Cemetery.
Korean War Memorial
The Lincoln Memorial. I loved this one so much. Not only is it absolutely gorgeous (especially at sunset!), but the Gettysburg Address written on the walls is extremely powerful and touching.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. This man kept his priorities straight, was courageous, and made a huge difference in the world.
"Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope."

FDR Memorial.
The Jefferson Memorial. This was amazing. Thomas Jefferson was one of the most wonderful men to ever lead this country.
Written up at the top is one of my favorite quotes, one that too many seem to forget: "Hostility against every form of tyranny."
National Museum of Natural History. The architecture of this is amazing.
This was taken at the National Museum of American History. Though this was my fovorite museum, I took few photos because of the glass almost all of the artifacts was in.
This was at the entrance to the exhibit about the star spangled banner. They have a very old and famous flag that is kept protected by extremely low light and no flash.
