Trip to Washington DC

We had a wonderful opportunity to visit Washington DC and wanted to share some pictures of the trip.

The White House






The Washington Monument


The World War II Memorial


Lincoln Memorial


Korean War Memorial


Jefferson Memorial


St. Matthew's Cathedral


St. Matthew's Cathedral (Engraving describing that President Kennedy's body laid there for the funeral mass, before being buried at Arlington Nat. Cemetry)


Air & Space Museum (Space Buddies)


Natural History Museum (T-Rex and Angie had some issues to work out)


National Archives (We saw the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, but the Constitution was not on display so that they could rework its display. It was dark in there to protect the documents, so my camera didn't take very good pictures.)


Arlington National Cemetery


Grave of JFK and Jackie-O


Tomb of the Unknown Soldier ( I had the chance to see the changing of the guard and a special ceremony where some children from a local school presented a wreath to the unknown soldiers)
