Reflecting Pool?681 viewsThis view looks toward the new WW II memorial and the Lincoln Memorial. For whatever reason, the reflecting pool was drained while we were there (like everything else while we were there, it was probably under construction. We have more memorial pictures in a separate gallery.

DC from Arlington677 viewsFrom Arlington Cemetery, you can get a great view of DC proper, although the day we were there was quite hazy.

The White House340 viewsThe most prestigious address in the world -- the White House! We were unable to tour it due to security concerns, although both of us have toured it in the past. Not a bad pic, considering I quickly snapped it through the fence.

Mount Vernon from the Potomac325 viewsWe spent most of a day taking a relaxing cruise down the Potomac River to Mount Vernon. This picture shows the Mount Vernon mansion from the river.

Chinese Subway323 viewsWe spent part of an evening in Chinatown, and had some decent Chinese food. We did not eat at this "Chinese" Subway, however!

Presidential Box, Ford's Theater322 viewsThis is the Presidential Box at Ford's theater, which is where Lincoln was viewing the play Our American Cousin when he was terminally shot.

Washington Monument283 viewsFinally, the Washington Monument, as seen from the Old Post Office Pavillion.

Chinese Arch270 viewsHere's the arch that lets you know you're in DC's Chinatown. Good thing they have it -- the area is so small, you might miss it otherwise.

Lincoln Art at Ford's Theater232 viewsIn the basement of the theater is a Lincoln museum, where this exhibit of Lincoln images was featured.

Posing in DC223 viewsFrom the steps of the Jefferson memorial is an excellent view of the Washington Monument and the White House. We took a moment to pose for this picture... If you click the picture it will enlarge and you'll see the White House.

U.S. Capitol202 viewsThe US Capitol, like many DC landmarks at the time of our trip, was undergoing major construction. We managed to find an angle which masked out most of the cranes!

The National Mall186 viewsLike all "touristy" folks in DC we went up the Washington Monument. For whatever reason, they had half of the windows blocked off, and all the windows are very small (about 1' x 2'). But we took some pictures. Here's the National Mall.
