WWII Memorial from Washington Monument450 viewsHere is the WW II memorial as seen from the top of the Washington Monument. It sits at the east side of the monument's reflecting pool, which for some reason was empty while we were visiting.

White House from Washington Monument446 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.

Space Shuttle Enterprise431 viewsThe Space Hangar wasn't yet open to the public when we were there, but we could still see its star attraction -- the Space Shuttle Enterprise. This shuttle never flew into space, but was used for in-atmosphere testing and proof of concept. It is currently being restored, after which time the Space Hangar will open, along with many other Space artifacts.

Columbia Memorial416 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...
