I hope you enjoyed our little travelogue. Every American should visit Washington DC at least once during their lifetime.

We went two years ago to most of the places you went to. Your pictures bring back memories! Thank you for sharing.

One of the great things about Washington is that all the federal buildings look as if they were built for the ages, with optimism that this great country will live forever.

As they build more and more and more of them, however, it is sucking the life out of the very country they’re intended to support. Sad irony.

Very nice, Art...wonderful report. I’ve been to maybe one-half of the sites you listed and your report wants me to return. My sister lives about an hour northeast of Wash DC and we haven’t visited since my Mom’s funeral several years ago.

Totally agree. The block square buildings of the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Energy, etc. What are they doing? . . Would be interesting to see what The Founders would think.

You can control the size of picture by adding this to the width statement. 600=pixels.

Thank you. We just scratched the surface. All Patriots should make the trek. Wish I could go May 16th but have to work. .

Which reminds me ... I saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier Saturday evening in the awesome Cine Capri theater in Tempe. Great take on how our own government has become a threat to the freedom it was founded on.

Thanks. A little on the large size though. Kind of interesting detail on the White House.

You missed the NRA museum. OK not in Wash DC, but nearby.

The national portrait gallery and the national art gallery are nice. Especially the portrait gallery.

Didn't know the NRA museum was in Fairfax. Will have to see next time. Heard the portrait gallery was nice. Thanks for the info.

Now that's better. Did 'inpect element' and now know how you did it. Many thanks. Hope admin can fix. I don't think I can redo again?

Been there, done that, back around 1980, when my wife at the time was showing her Montessori materials at a convention.
We did the Whitehouse tour then, but I could not now set foot in what is now the stinkhouse. Everyone should visit DC at least one time.
