Vermontcat goes to Washington (DC pics)

[Vermontcat]

I have finally finished going through all my photos from my vacation to Washington, D.C. so here are a few photos of the many things we saw.

This is the Smithsonian Castle.


We also went to the Air and Space Museum.


They had the original model for the Star Trek Enterprise in their giftshop.


On the 2nd day we saw the Washington Monument.


We also visited the World War II Memorial.


We could see the White House from the top of the Washington Monument.


We also saw the Lincoln Memorial from the top of the Washington Monument.


The fog finally cleared to a bright blue sky after we came down from the top.


Lots more photos coming in the next post.

The next day we saw a flying tiger in the Museum of Natural History.


We also saw a gold monopoly set there.


We also went to the Museum of American History and saw some neat things like the original ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz.


The next day we went to the National Zoo.


We saw the mom and baby panda but not very close up.

The baby is kind of hiding, maybe you can see his ear.

They also had a baby elephant out with his mom and dad.


They had lots of pretty birds like this parrot.


We also stopped by the Georgetown Mall to do a little shopping.


Still more photos coming in the next post.

A fountain in the Sculpture Garden.


A couple of ducks in the fountain.


We also went to the National Archives where we saw the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.


After we checked out of the hotel, we hopped in our Ferrari and drove over to Virginia.


We saw the Iwo Jima Memorial.


We couldn't get too close because they were working on the base of it.


We also saw the Space Shuttle in the Air & Space Museum by Dulles Airport.


Another view of the Space Shuttle.


That's all the photos I have time for now.
I will have to add more photos later when I have more time.
I hope everyone liked their virtual tour of Washington DC.
It was a fun place to visit and there was so much to see and do there.

We didn't go to all the places you went! Your pics are MUCH better, too. P.S. Love your Ferrarri (too bad it really wasn't yours )
I took over 200 pictures though . I wish we could have seen the Declaration, Library of Congress and all that stuff, but we did see the White House.
Oh, and I took a pic of the tiger, too, except from a different angle.
