Washington D.C.: Day 1

Lots and lots of pictures. We crammed everything we could into 3 days. We were all so tired and sore but it was well worth it.



We arrived late Friday night so we just headed straight to the hotel and bed. 

Our hotel


We got up early Saturday morning (4-5 am Boise time) and the adventure started. 
Off to the metro we went. 

Temperatures were 85-90 with 40-70% humidity.



Our first destination after a bit of a walk was the Jefferson Memorial










Then we headed over to the Washington Monument and met up with our friends we were there with.





Already REALLY hot 


We walked to the White house..




Past the old executive office building..



To the WWII monument






Getting hotter...


Off to the Korean War Memorial








Lincoln Memorial next








We stood here for quite awhile. The wind was blowing and it felt wonderful!

The reflection pool was being repaired :(

A long, hot walk over the bridge to Arlington National Cemetery











Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Women's memorial

Kennedy's Tomb

Back on the Metro to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum






Much happier with air conditioning


















Back to the hotel for some dinner and swimming...
