I pretty much had to pick one big place to tour, and so I chose the Washington Monument.
|
A duplicate of this statue (or is it the other way around?) is in the capitol in Richmond.
|
|
Back to American History: PowerBook used on "Sex and the City" and C-3P0.
|
Transportation exhibit. Actual Route 66 concrete. I wish I'd been able to spend more time here.
|
The "Seinfeld" puffy shirt's presence in the Smithsonian was on Final Jeopardy recently.
|
Marine Corps/Iwo Jima memorial, within walking distance of hotel.
|
Jefferson Memorial, late at night. Parking right by the monument has idiotically been blocked off. Poor Mr. Jefferson, all by himself, and now it's even harder to get there.
|
Manassas National Battlefield Park...
|
...but shouldn't that be Bull Run? (Maybe because it's in the South, the park service went with that name?)
|
Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Museum near Dulles. Lots and lots of planes.
|
Enola Gay at right
|
There were no space voyages for this starship Enterprise.
|
|
Just in time for rush hour on the Beltway.
|
|
|
|
Going through downtown Baltimore.
|
|
Orioles-Red Sox game scheduled around the time we went through.
|
Took I-83 from its south end to York, then 30 to Lancaster.
|
The easternmost point I've been on 30.
|
Getting on US 222 for first time. This was ending a day in which Mom and Dad did genealogy.
|
Started July by clinching I-283.
|
|
It could be worse - it could be Clearview attacking the button copy.
|
Pennsylvania's Capitol rotunda is very busy, and I mean that in the artistic sense.
|
|
The 253(!)-member Pennsylvania House, still in session because of (drumroll) budget cuts.
