National Building Museum

The highlight of a trip here is the building itself, large, showy and beautiful. You can also learn about the symbolism of architecture in DC (washington monument anyone...?) if you can stop gawping long enough.

The White House - a bit of a waste of time really

posted by dwheeler on 11 January 2011 at 13:48

By the time you get anywhere near the white house, you'll have forgotten why you ever wanted to visit in the first place. The queues are so long and there are loads of checkpoints. Inside, you get to see a few backrooms that have a few nice wooden chairs in them but thats about all to recommend them. Don't bother, it's much more impressive from the outside.

Constitution Gardens

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.

Jefferson Memorial

It's quite mad to see something you've seen on TV so many times, but at the same time the size and majesty of it still makes an impression. The surroundings are lovely too, and i'm really sad i didn't get to see the cherry trees in full blossom.
