Here's me in front of the monument. And here's me and Jefferson himself:
From there, we had a nice view of the Washington Monument.
Then we went on the the World War II memorial. At this point, we are both extremely hot and sweaty, and about to die. The humidity was like 70% or something. So all grossness in pictures must be blamed on that.
Luckily, we could splash each other from the fountains a bit to cool down. Then we were off again toward the other monuments. We had to walk past the famous reflecting pool.
Then we went to the Vietnam memorial. Everyone was very quiet and respectful there, much more so than at any other monument.
After that, it was on to the Land Of Lincoln! No, not Illinois, the Lincoln Monument. Here's me with Lincoln himself!
Look at all your new pennies, I might be there! And here's me outside the monument:
From there, we went to the Korean War Monument. By this time, I'm way tired, but it's a very cool monument anyway. I took this picture in honor of MASH.
I also thought this was arty and cool, but at the same time, really touching. It's a sobering place.
Finally, we went to the World War I memorial. Hardly anyone was there, but it was probably my favorite one. It's really beautiful and isolated.
And just to prove to you that I didn't go by myself (aside from all the pictures of me taken from far away), here's Niki in the WWI memorial.
This was our last stop. We headed back home after this. We were both really sweaty and totally rank smelling, plus we had blisters on these:
Thanks for taking this walking tour with me. I had a blast, and I hope you did too!
