Touring DC
I couldn’t get an invititation inside, but I could take the “classic” White House shot. Too bad it was overcast.
This is really how close you can get.
I was also able to get to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum today. That was pretty cool, but I didn’t have time to see it all or see it very thoroughly. Afterwards, I walked down the Mall. I saw the new WWII memorial fountain and I wasn’t impressed. Charles Krauthammer wrote an opinion piece slamming it and points out many of its underwhelming features.
After passing the reflecting pool and checking our Mr. Lincoln, I turned to the Vietnam Memorial. Unfortunately, it was under renovation and only a very short section was visible. The humidity had returned today and by this time I was a sweaty wreck, so I taxied it back to the hotel. That concludes my Washington tour.
