America the Beautiful

I guess I should probably do part 2 from my last post since I kind of left everyone hangin..so here it goes! Like I said before, Adam and I took the metro one day downtown to DC to see all the famous sites. It was a BEAUTIFUL day. Every other day had been like 60ish degrees, but it was in the 70's the day we went. It seemed everyone else in the area decided to take advantage of the weather too. I was kind of surprised at how many toursits there were with it not being the summer yet. Speaking of people..I don't think I have every been anywhere that there has been such a wide range of races. I literally can't understand about 50% of the people that live here because they're foreigners. It is a little frustrating, but I guess people get used to it. ANYWAYS..after going to the White House we stopped to see the WWII Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Washington Monument.

WWII Monument Beautiful isn't it?

Yay for Idaho! This is the same monument. It had all the states surrounding it. Doesn't Adam looked thrilled to be there? :)

Vietnam MemorialThe Lincoln Memorial! It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be.

Good ole' Abe. We didn't really wanna ask a stranger to use our camera, but a photographer lady was nice enough to offer.

The Washington Monument looking at it from the Lincoln Memorial. It is beautiful. I love how you can see it in the reflecting pool. If you look at the monument you can tell how far they've cleaned it.

That pretty much shows everything we saw in DC. Walking back to the metro ended up being about a mile! We were extremely tired by the end of the day. It was definitly worth it though. The day after we went to DC Adam and I and our friends went to the DC Temple. I thought the DC was a smaller temple, but it's not. It's really pretty. All the tulips are blooming everywhere around it already. You go through this windy road of trees to get to it. You can see it from the freeway. It's right around a corner and I guess that corner gets a lot of wrecks at night because people turn that corner and BAM there's the briht white temple. I don't know if this is fact, but I think they had to dim the lights a little because of that. Anywho.. here is a picture!
