Washington DC

Press play before you read! This blog is multimedia!!



Whilst in Virginia I was lucky enough to go to Washington DC, my first time there and ever in a gigantic American east coast mega city. It was about a four drive, so was only possible on a weekend. There is way too much to see in one weekend. It was a great city, I was there the weekend before the 4th of July.

This was in the sculpture garden right on the national mall. I know what I think it looks like.


Some of my favourite pieces at the Hirshhorn






The botanical garden








Views on the mall






Looking toward the Lincoln memorial


The Lincoln memorial is amazing. The Pantheon in Rome is still my favourite building but this one is a close second.














Foyer of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I believe the Apollo 11 capsule is the one on the right.


The Wright Brother's airplane


The sun setting on Virginia
