Tampa International
First stop: the Lincoln Memorial. From the platform we took this picture of Washington Monument and the reflecting pool.
Taylor and I with Honest Abe.
Mom and I in front of the Jefferson Memorial, a very long walk around the Potomac Basin. 
We took this picture on Friday morning BUT we did not actually do the tour until Saturday. You were basically allowed nothing inside the white house except your id and some cash - no cameras, cell phones, etc. It was really neat to see the inside. 
Taylor and I, in our accidently and nearly identical outfits, outside Union Station.
So that my computer does not fry and you brain does not go numb I am only posting those pics of the 140 I took! But when I say we covered alot of ground I mean alot. We saw the Jefferson, Lincoln, Washington, WWII, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Vietnam, Navy, and 56 Signers of the Consitution Memorials. We also saw the Museum of Natural History, American History, Air and Space. We saw a tiny bit of the Art Museum. We went to the Holocaust Museum. We went to the Archives and saw the Magna Carta, Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights. We did the capital building tour, white house tour, and looked at the Library of Conress. We went to the top of the Old Post Office tower. We listened to the story of Lincoln's assasination inside the Ford Theater. We went to Arlington where we saw Taylor's grandfathers grave, JFK's grave, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the changing of the guard, Robert E. Lee's house now known as Arlington House, and the Civil War unknown soldiers tomb. We took taxis and rode the metro. We went to Georgetown, Chinatown and Union Station. We found the buildings that house the US Treasury, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, FBI and the Department of Justice. And we had a great time!
