Washington D.C.

A couple days after I got back from Germany, my brother Ben and I went to D.C. for a few days. We had alot of fun! We left in the wee hours of the morning and got there around 4pm. We walked the monuments the 1st night. Lincoln Memorial
Washington Monument
The 2nd day, we went to the Smithsonian Museums: American History & Natural History. We also went to the National Archives to see our important, original documents.
The Constitution
T-Rex
Our 3rd day was our favorite. We had a tour of the Capitol Building. If you visit your congressmen, they give you tickets to sit in the House and Senate. It was so cool to sit in there, hearing the laws being discussed.
Our last day we went to Arlington Cemetery.
This is the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier.
Iwo Jima
