The Washington Monument

There was nothing I wanted to see more in Washington DC than the Washington Monument. I talked and talked and talked about it for days.

I mean...  it's incredible, right?

There was some discussion around the reason for the change in color of the limestone. We settled on the fact that the builders had to use a different quarry to get their limestone when the civil war broke out.

There's a great view from here. We could see all the way to the Lincoln Memorial - B's favorite!

It felt pretty cool to touch too. We didn't get there in time to buy tickets and I was pretty bummed, but there was so much more to see that I quickly got over my disappointment.

We were on the other side to make sure we could in fact see it's reflection all the way across the water from the Lincoln Memorial. Check!

I made Mom take a LOT of photos. It was sooooo cool!
