Washington, DC

 

Scaffolding on lower right of Lincoln Memorial is from the green paint damage a couple of weeks ago.

 

Washington Monument still has the scaffolding from earthquake damage a couple of years ago - makes for a cool night shot.

The Capital

These got us in to see the Senate Chambers - not in session.

The Supreme Court

The facade of the building is currently being refurbished - they have this huge photo canvas on the front so we could still get the "feel"

We got to peek into the actual courtroom - we could've gone in if we were willing to sit through a lecture - but we weren't

The Library of Congress

The White House

Thanks to Sequester, our White House tour was canceled so no inside shots.

From Henry: it looks larger on TV.

The Smithsonian

We saw the panda for literally 10 seconds before he lumbered to the back to sleep for the rest of the day. The other panda wasn't out because she was in the back trying to get pregnant....

Henry LOVED the Air & Space Museum!

The kids made me take a photo of this and were stunned that I once had a computer very similar

From the museum on American History.

Mount Vernon

George and Martha's home - definitely worth the drive.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing

No photos were allowed inside but we got a photo with this stack of uncut $10 right outside. Great tour - the best part was watching an employee clear a paper jam and then crinkle up the wrinkled sheets of $ while smiling at us.

 

The Subway

We've now used the subways in four cities - it was nice not having to worry about parking.
