I'm sure most of you have been to Washington D.C. before and have seen all the funky monuments and museums and stuff. But! Since this is my first time being anywhere cool, I decided that pictures would be appropriate. I did not take pictures in the natural history museum though, due to the fact that you've probably already seen those on your grandmother's facebook.
So first we start off with James, my Boise buddy who's been kind enough to show me around. I'm sure he's pretty sick of me complaining about the heat and not having water all day. I'm so glad he's been here though, I wouldn't have made it through the airports without him.
We drove around for a bit and ended up on a tour bus thing at the Arlington National Cemetery. It was interesting, very surreal. Here is the eternal flame by the Kennedy graves.
Robert E. Lee's House! Whoo APUSH!
Changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown. Very cool, very proper, very kind of odd? But respectful? Yes. I wasn't aware this happened all the time.
Hey APUSH friends! This is part of the USS Maine, the ship that started what war!??! :D
Iwo Jima, as you can tell its very hot and I've been complaining about forgetting bottled water for the last hour.
More funky fresh photos of this gorgeous city (reminds me of portland?)
So yeah! Day one in D.C.!
Tomorrow I have meetings with congressmen and stuff and then I pack when I get back to the hotel because I leaving wednedsay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally!!!
Yay! Tours and stuff! My nose!
