A Day in DC

DC is one of my favorite cities in the United States and i’ll never get tired of it.  I started my day at the Smithsonian – National Museum of African American History and Culture and ended at Smithsonian Castle.  I can’t really put into words how amazing these museums are so i’ll just show you.

Fun Facts:

• George Washington never lived in DC.  The White House was completed a year after he died.
• The DC War Memorial, which honors local residents of Washington, DC is the only memorial dedicated to World War I on the National Mall
