Washington DC Trip pics!!

So, this week we decided we wanted to go to Washington DC. It was Jess, our friend Kate, and myself. Kate will be doing an internship there so we wanted to make sure she got acquainted to the city and the Metro system. Well, we ended up being 100% tourists on Tuesday.

We left Pittsburgh Monday night about 5:15pm and got to DC about 10 pm. We decided we wanted to do a couple things before going to bed so we went in to town and checked out the Mall where you can walk around and look at the Capitol and Washington Monument all lit up all nice.



The next day we literally must have walked at least 20 miles. It was exhausting. Here's the typical shot of the White House.


Some cool random art.


"RAR."


Another beautiful shot of Jess smelling the flowers.

Really cool shot of a fountain at a castle.


After much more walking and Metro riding we checked out Ford's theatre.


There was a sweet wax museum again! Only this one was way better cuz they had THE MAN Sam Jackson.


Obama!


Beautiful sunset across the Tidal Basin.


Checkin out Thomas Jefferson


I love the sun hitting the monuments.


Good ol' Lincoln memorial.


Sweet reflection pool shot


The sun was setting at the perfect time that we were there. The clouds were leaving, too, so helped bring in some more blues and purples to help contrast the oranges the sun was leaving on the stone and the lights in the monuments casted.


All in all, another super fun trip! Now time to rest!
