Washington D.C.

The US Capitol Building

We visited quite a few of the Smithsonian Museums in D.C. They were great.
We went to the Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of Natural History and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.
At the Air and Space Museum we saw the actual Apollo 11 command module, which the astronauts returned to Earth in.
At the Natural History Museum we saw the 45carat Hope Diamond, which has an estimated value of $USD200–$250 million.
At the Holocaust Museum we each got an identity card of a holocaust victim, which told their story.

Beautiful sunny day at the Whitehouse.

Lincoln Memorial, 5.8m tall, head to foot. I always wanted to see this, from when I saw it on the music videoclip for We Built this City, by Starship.

We sampled a half smoke and chili fries at Ben's Chili Bowl, yummm!
