Library of Congress323 viewsHere Cathy poses in the atrium of the extremely elaborate Jefferson building at the Library of Congress. This area is literally a shrine to knowledge, with symbols of knowledge throughout.

U.S. Capitol319 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!

DC from Old Post Office Pavilion316 viewsWhat's actually a much better view than the Washington Monument is the Old Post Office Pavilion. It has much larger "windows" (actually there open screens), it isn't nearly as crowded, and the views are just as nice. This picture shows Pennsylvania Avenue looking toward the Capitol.

Columbia Memorial279 viewsUnfortunately with another recent accident comes another Space Shuttle memorial. This one is for the Columbia accident on February 1, 2003. Columbia was the first shuttle to leave the earth's atmosphere in 1981 -- Tim remembers watching it land for the first time live on TV in elementary school...

Arlington - Changing of the Guard250 viewsArlington National Cemetery isn't the largest national cemetery in the US, but it's the most famous. This picture shows the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

White House from Washington Monument245 viewsLooking toward the White House from the Washington Monument. The original plan was to have the Washington Monument be right at the intersection of a line from the White House and a line from the Capitol. As you can see, though, they had to change the location slightly.
