Washington Monument

It's hard to miss this big white tower of awesomeness in DC. It's the Washington Monument!

This picture was from the Uber ride over to the Lincoln Memorial. I wanted to get the sun right behind it but oh well it's still a cool picture.

We walked by and took a few more pictures click the "Read more" below to see?

WWII Memorial

Continuing our walk around Washington, DC, at the other end of the Reflecting Pool is the Memorial for World War II. They use the double "I's" instead of the number 2. I wonder if this will eventually be like Lincoln's "four score" thing? I guess we all still remember Roman Numerals better than scores.

There it is over there. It's a big fountain surrounded by columns representing all of the states and stuff that helped win.

Vietnam Memorial

After the Lincoln Memorial, we stopped by to check out the nearby Vietnam Memorial. Only took a small amount of pictures here.

Statue of some heroic soldiers. Will future ponies think this looks like a this-era version of knights?

Lincoln Memorial

Four score and seven weeks ago.... How much is a score again? You think Lincoln would have used the "score" terminology if he knew nopony in the future would remember how much a score was? Here's a big 'ole monument to remind everypony how cool this guy was.

Very ancient Roman looking building. What would it be like to be that one person in ancient times that thought up of the whole "column" thing? Mad props to that guy! (Or gal?)

Nice building but LINCOLN is in there! Click on the "Read more" below!

American History 3

Cars and Kitchen stuff. You might not think there's too much "history" yet for cars and modern kitchen stuff is still a little boring, but there were exhibits and we got pictures!

My friend made me post the "old" McDonald's stuff as the main picture, since he worked there around this time. So it's like personal history. Did he actually use THAT fry scoop? Maybe???
