Still one month behind my photos....went for a one day trip to Washington. Only went around the Mall....not enough time and too much walking!
US Capitol Hill
Kinda surprised to see that they have a visitor center, as well as free tour!
Key feature in the Capitol Hill..each state provided figures of important people from their state...this was the most important to me SAMUEL ADAMS
Can't remember where this was but...the paintings depicted different major events in the development of US history, and the decorations right under the skylight actually is a continuous painting starting from the landing of Columbus in America up to today.
Room where 1st congregation of the US Senate was held
US Supreme Court
The Smithsonian Institute
Lincoln Monument....
...where Martin Luther King made the "I have a dream speech". This is what King was facing when he made the speech...the Washington Monument.
Close up of the Washington Monument
Finally....the WHITE HOUSE (this is as close as we got thanks to extra security measures)
