Until last Wednesday…
I guess I’ve never been a lot of places until this whole drive-across-the-US-in12-days-seeing-as-much-as-possible thing. But my number one vacation goal for probably the last 10 years has been Washington DC. And now, I’ve been there!
The feeling I got standing inside the Lincoln Memorial, gazing up at the statue and reading the Gettysburg Address, was unparalleled awe. I was really here…I couldn’t quite believe it.
So enjoy this massive photo dump of our 1/2 day in our nation’s capital yesterday!

I love all the amazing architecture on the East Coast! |
Should I know what this memorial is? …I don’t |
The flowers in front of the Red Cross building were all coordinated red and white! =) …it’s the little things! |
This cute little guy was not afraid of us or our camera at all. |
I don’t remember what this monument is |
I had always dreamed of seeing this view…looking down the reflection pond. |
WWII Memorial with the Washington Memorial in the background. |
Walking along the reflecting pool |
…amd I’ve always wanted to see this one. (Looking back from the Lincoln Memorial toward the Washington Memorial) |
The Lincoln Memorial!!! |
One of the coolest and most surreal moments of our trip was standing here and looking up at this famous statue |
I stood there and read this whole speech as well. |

Florida on the WWII Memorial. |
The Korean War Memorial |
And the final main attraction…the Capital Building! |
I hope you enjoyed this little photo journal of our day in DC. It was a such a wonderful experience and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Be blessed.

I LOVE DC! I grew up about 20 minutes from there and only went a few times. I didn't appreciate it when I was younger. But Josh and I are going back to MD in a few weeks and we are definitely spending a day or two in DC 🙂
