Sightseeing in Washington, DC

On Sunday, we took a bus tour of DC. It was raining, sometimes pretty hard. But rain is still a novelty to us, and clothes dry, so we didn't mind it.

The Capitol



The FDR memorial, one of our favorites. There are 4 "rooms" for his 4 terms, each with a different water feature.





Korean War memorial. 19 soldier statues, a mirror wall, and 19 reflections make 38 total, which is the latitude - 38th parallel. Really cool fountain/pool too.





Lincoln and Washington memorials and the reflecting pool.





Lincoln and Washington and the WWII memorial.
