We started the day getting up at 5:30 to observe the lunar eclipse.
We drove to Washington DC , you can see Washington Monument in the background
It is very impressive and we got tickets to go up at 2:30 PM. If you want tickets get there at 8 am in season, we got ours at about 10 am and this was the only time available.
Thought I would pick up a new bill off the press.
It is really hard to do this.
Since we had 3 hours before our Washington Monument tour, we walked over to the American History Museum. They were featuring the New York Worlds Fair with a 1964 Mustang.
The exhibits are fantastic.
There were a lot of clay people
Becky was waiting for the school bus with some clay people.
Becky said this looked like her when she was little.
The clay people were lined up for a trolley so I joined them
They were even at the train station. The exhibits were life like and made you feel like you were there.
Our time to go up the monument was here.
The circle of flags were neat.
The view toward the capital building.
It looks like it touches the clouds.
I did not realize I was that tall.
Another view of the Capital building.
From the top you can see everything. This is toward Jefferson's Monument.
I zoomed in on the Jefferson Monument.
Looking toward the Lincoln Monument with the World War II Memorial up front.
This work of art in sand looks like someone.
A closer look at the World War II Memorial
The White House, can you see the president?
Finished our day at Skipper's with oysters and a salmon salad.
