On Friday morning, we toured the monuments -- as many as we could find in 5 hours. The World War II is my favorite. The Lincoln Memorial was incredibly moving, the Washington Monument is very impressive, and the US Capitol rises majestically over the city. You could spend days going to the monuments. Unfortunately, we didn't have that much time.

Wow! I just scrolled down your entire blog and read the commentary for each of your adventures. Sounds like you hit all the hot spots and had a fabulous time! I knew you would. DC is one of my alltime favorite places. Glad you enjoyed yourselves and am assuming nobody lost their shorts.
