We visited the Library of Congress, visited the Smithsonian Castle, went to the Museum of American History, saw the Washington Monument (so disappointed it was under construction!), and went to Union Station.

This was a very hard place to take pictures because it was so dark inside.

We visited the Jefferson Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Wall, and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
