Washington D.C. – The Monuments and Memorials

I’m very excited that I finally got to visit my nation’s capital!  D.C. is a place that you could spend all kinds of time, but we only had a day, but we definitely made it a FULL day!  We stayed in Virginia the night before, loaded our stuff up and then rode the train into D.C.  It was a really cheap train, and it saved us from dealing with the traffic on the way out of the city around rush hour.  Again, other than transportation and food, everything we did in D.C. was absolutely FREE!

The first thing we did in D.C. was run by the Holocaust Museum to get our tickets.  After we got our tickets we decided to visit the monuments and memorials (obviously not all of them in one day, but we hit a lot of them).

Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial- probably my favorite of the monuments.  It is really relevant to today’s problems
