Washington DC
Fall ~~ 2004
The plane trip was great and brought us to the beautiful colors that greeted us at the BWI train station
On to our Capitol!
They were busy getting ready or the inauguration ceremony.
The view from the steps of the capitol was so beautiful with all the fall colors.
On to Union Station ... the hub of much of the activity!
Notice the 3 flags that represent the three ships that came with Columbus!
We woke the next morning to a beautiful colorful sunrise out of our window!
The metro was quite an experience ... down to the young student who had the metro "eat his homework"
On to the Washington DC trolley. Bob took us around to see many more sites of the city.
We decided to stop and see the Washington National Cathedral.
Abraham Lincoln Memorial.
"In this temple as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the union the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever"
The Korean War Veterans Memorial honors those Americans who answered the call... those who worked, fought, and gave their lives for the cause of freedom.
The still clear day made for beautiful reflections in the pool at the Korean Memorial.
Looking down the Reflecting Pool toward the new WWII Memorial
Another memorial we saw along the Reflecting Pool walk..
The National WWII Memorial honors the 16 million who served in the armed forces of the U.S., the more than 400,000 who died and all who supported the war effort from home.
On to the National Museum of the American Indian...
the United States Botanic Gardens....
and the National Postal Museum.
The Union Station clock says it is time to go.
We had a wonderful time and hope you have time to stop back again after our next trip. There is always another in the plans.
**Check back... there will be more trips to share later**
