The Space and Air Museum...this is the actual Apollo 11 capsule that I'm looking up at...the seats were tiny and it must have been bloody uncomfortable coming down.
This was my favorite painting at the national portrait gallery. The woman who introduced Girl Scouts to America.
We walked the whole mall as the sun set and got to the Lincoln memorial as dark came on. A very impressive statue but the two speaches engraved on the insides were more impressive to me.
Arlington was kind of a detached experience until our tour stopped in dead silence as a marine funeral went by with the horse drawn casem. Up to 27 military funerals per day.
The cherry blossom festival is in full swing this week and we've been lucky enough to enjoy it all over town.
This is the National Cathedral which was impressive and the choir was practicing for Easter Sunday so we got the full impact of the atmostphere. Wish we had more time to walk around the grounds.
The American History museum was pretty incredible with Judy Garland's ruby slippers, Julia Child's full kitchen and this, Stanley, the very first fully automated driving car. It can 'see' it's surroundings and drive in accordance. Very cool!
This Alexandria which is full of great restaurants and we ate here a few times.
George Washington's house at Mount Vernon and this is the view from his porch. Totally interesting place and it was very educational regarding the times as well as his life.
