The Washington Monument

Hail to our first president!






This is the view from the top. They have some great look-out windows. I was grateful that, unlike Bunker Hill, they had an elevator to take us up there. I think there's a law that you can only climb up ONE set of hundreds of stairs per vacation. Phew!



Notice the color change in the bricks? That's because construction stopped due to lack of funds and other things. It took 40 years to build it.
