Capitol City

Hey, 

Over the Weekend I was in Washington D.C., where I visited all the Monuments and Sights within 2 days. Sounds exhausting, right? 

We met in front of the Camous at 6:45 on Saturday and reached Washington D.C. 4,5 hours later, but the travel seemed to be much shorter to me. When we reached the City we made our first stop at the White House. We wandered around the White House and had some time to take pictures. Well, we should have had time, but 1 minute was sadly not enough for a photo and a selfie. That bothered me a little, but my mood enhanced immediately when we reached the reflecting pool and Abe! 

I always wanted to see Abe! For whatever reason, I always wanted to see his monument, more than the White House or the Capitol! 

Luckily we had a lot of time there, so that I took many photos and was able to visit the Vietnam Memorial, the Korean Memorial and the World War II Memorial. 

Afterwards we hopped on the bus again, and drove to the Jefferson Memorial, which was also one of my favourites. I really enjoy buildings with column. Our last stop was the Opera/ Theatre/ Ballet House. Form it's balcony you had a beautiful view on Georgetown and Virgina and in the Inside you could challenge your flag-knowledge. 

Tired and happy to have a nice bed, we reached the hotel, but we didn't go to bed immediately, I mean Georgetown was just 15 mins away! Related to that and to our hunger we went out for dinner in Georgetown. We decided to eat at an Italian Restaurant in a back road of the Main Street, where the food was delicious and a man played on the violin. The restaurant was definitely a little fancier and more expensive, but it was more than worth it. 

The next day we stood up really early as well to visit the tump of John F. Kennedy and his wife, as well as the tump of the unknown soldiers where we were able to see the change of guards. The change of guards wasn't as spectacular as the one in London, but It was really cool anyway. 

Our next stop was the Capitol, where we took another group photo, before we spread out to enjoy our freetime. I was a little disappointed, because the Capitols dome is under construction, but I knew that before so I could deal with it. 

In our freetime we visited the National Museum of Natural History as well as the Washinton Monument, from which you had a beautiful view on the Capitol, the White House and the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. Afterwards we still had one hour left, but we were to exhausted to move, therefor we just layed on the bench in front of the Musuem and enjoyed the beautiful sunny weather.
