The day after the wedding, Mum, Dad and I braved a mightily delayed Amtrak to head down to Washington DC. We stayed at a lovely, ultra-gay B&B up by Logan Circle – and hiked out immediately to see if we could see if the Obamas were at home.
The next morning we basically did everything. Washington Monument? Straight after breakfast.
WW2? A little bombastic but breaks up the walk to Vietnam War and on to…
… the spine-tingling Lincoln monument. OK, this may not have been his most inspiring speech.
I like this picture!
No rest! Hike on over to FDR. Really interesting design and some wonderful statuary. Quotes are the best bit though, of course.
Jefferson – probably my favourite. Gorgeous open architecture, lots of words!
