Washington D.C

For spring break, I visited northern VA to visit some friends, and to visit some areas that I haven't been to in a long time. So today, I went to visit Washington D.C. I haven't been back here since I was about 7 years old, and I've forgotten how the area looked like. I've also forgotten how it feels to be in this historical presence. We first visited the Jefferson Memorial. After Jefferson Memorial, we visited the Washington Monument. We thought about going inside, but we didn't have the energy to walk up the monument =/. Then we went to see the WWII memorial, which I've never seen. It was heart felting to be in the memorial of the those that died in WWII. We then walked down the mall strip where Martin Luther King Jr gave his speech. Behind the mall strip stands the Lincoln Memorial. I've never seen the memorial with in real life, so it was something very important to me. Through looking at the pictures in history books, I always thought Lincoln was much smaller. But after seeing it in real life, he was huge! After visiting Lincoln, we visited the Vietnam Veteran Memorial. It was very nice to visit this memorial particularly because it's the war that's most important to me. I had a lot of fun today and I recommend those that never been to D.C should definitely go. =)
