A Trip to Washington DC

Michael went to Washington DC for work this week.  I decided to make a short vacation out of it by meeting him on Wednesday and us staying through the weekend.  While I didn't do much during the day, it was still nice being able to relax and watch tv all day in the hotel room.  Michael and I did go out on the evenings and then on the weekend.  Here are some of the things we did and saw:
 
The Pentagon Memorial:






The 9/11 Memorial benches at the Pentagon
 
Sculpture outside of the Pentagon

 
A close up of one of the memorial benches.

 
It's the capitol building, where nothing gets done.

 
The White House. There were a bunch of SUVs lined up so we thought maybe someone important was about to leave, but we never saw anyone.

 
The Washington Monument

 
A close up of those SUVs. Could it be the President coming out???


 
Hanging out in front of the White House.

 
A little overprotective, don't you think?

 
The White House

 
Snipers on the roof of the White House.

 
Maybe it really is someone important about to leave?

 
 

 
Waiting for the metro.

 
The Capital building again.
