Washington, DC

The Potomac River and Washington Monument

Passing by the White House

Washington Monument

During our drive around DC Marine Force One (the helicopter of the President) flew by and I was able to snap a bad pic - you can barely see it through the trees, but I still thought it was cool! :)

MLK Jr. Monument and Washington Monument!

Touching the top of the "Big Pencil" :)

Watching Planes Land

One of the places that we visited with Carrie was a park right next to Regan Airport!  It was amazing seeing the planes taking off and landing only a few hundred feet above us!
