DC Trip (monuments/historic sites)

Hello blog friends. 
I haven't finished organizing the photos, there's quite a lot to review. I picked some that I thought were interesting, I used an iphone and an old Sony camera. Big niece has been bugging me for some time now to invest in a good one, but I'm just not into it (yet), I'd rather buy more stitchy stuff. DH is not a camera sort of guy too, he hates posing or taking pictures. I had to wring his arm to take some, jk. 
Okay, off we go...
We rode the hop-on, hop-off trolley tours, first stop was Washington Welcome Center which sells souvenirs.

Near the Center is Ford's Theatre - where Pres. Abe Lincoln was shot:

Right across the theatre is the Petersen House, where Lincoln died:

There were lots of schoolkids having field trips in DC.

The White House:

The National Christmas Tree (across the White House):

Near the tree is the Zero Milestone:

National Archives:

Union Station (I love ceilings:)

Capitol Building (under renovation);

Bureau of Printing and Engraving (where the moolah comes from:)

Department of Energy:

Jefferson Memorial:

Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial:

Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial:

Lincoln Memorial:

view from Washington Memorial, don't worry we'll get closer...

not close enough? legs are hurting, so let's just zoom in...

Albert Einstein Memorial:

World War II Memorial (there was a school band playing, really nice:)

Washington Monument... but wait, did you know there was a first monument before the present one?

Now here's the present one (Since it's a hop-on, hop-off loop tour, I was able to take shots at different times of the day:)

Morning:

 

Love the clouds:)

can you spot me in this one (DH really needs to take photography classes, LOL

Past Lunch:

Reflective Pool shot

Tidal Basin shot

Late afternoon:

National Museum

And then, there was heavy traffic on our way back to the hotel (on the last day):

I hope I didn't bore you... because there's more to come (see, it's just the monuments). The best part are the museums. Yes, I do love museums. I've found some cool stuff to share next time:)
Back to stitching.
Thanks for visiting. Happy Stitching!
