I don't know why I thought this would be hideous but it isn't, it's pretty majestic! I liked its gothic style and it's crazy that it was only finished in 1990, and yet it's made it onto the historic buldings register! Look out for the lunar rock and the Bishop's garden.

A lovely section of the National Mall, I love to see the native flowers when i'm on holiday, so the National Garden was understandably a highlight, with the First Ladies Water Garden lovely too.

Gorgeous house and gardens with an amazing art collection. The largest foreign collection of Russian art is augmented with art and antique objects collected from around Europe. Totally elegant, a lovely way to spend your day.

Delightful gardens and a lovely place to take a breather from sightseeing around the national mall. The vietnam veterans memorial wall was really powerful and really made me remember all that i had learned about that war.
