Washington Monument in the Evening

 

The Washington Monument gleaming in the distance.  It had been closed due to earthquake damage just prior to our arrival but still makes for a stunning sight on the mall.

 

 

 

Our posse heading down the mall.

 

The capital behind us.

 

It is rather big and pointy.

 

 

Sarah braved the very real threat of fire ants to get a picture.

 

Union Station

 

Wandering around looking for a place to have dinner, we passed by Union Station.

 

 

 

 

The Postal Museum is attached to the train station.

Yeah.  We were a little lost trying to find somewhere to eat.
