Pictures of Washington DC

While we were in Washington DC last month, we saw a lot. A lot. We walked until I had blisters on my feet and we were both so exhausted we could barely make it back to the metro station. But it was completely worth it. Here are some photos from The Old Post Office, Ford's Theater, The Petersen House (where President Lincoln died), the National Archives, the Capitol Building, the Smithsonian Sculpture Garden and Museum of Natural History, The World War II Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, The Lincoln Memorial, The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and The Iwo Jima Memorial.

I fell in love with DC for the first time when I was 14, and 18 years later it's still one of my favorite places in the world. If you've never been, go. There is just nothing like it.
