Washington DC Day 1: Monuments

Today was our first day in Washington and even though it was a short day, it was packed with things to see. We started at Lincoln Memorial. Then we looked at the Vietnam and Korea Memorial. Also, we saw the big „pool“ and the Washington Monument in the far. Afterwards we were at the Jefferson Monument. We were able to see the White House from there. Then we looked at the Martin Luther King Memorial, which was my favorite, together with the 2 War Memorials. I had Taco Bell for lunch and we were allowed to shop for a little bit. Then we headed to Mount Vernon and looked at George Washington‘s birthplace. It was a really pretty place but you weren’t allowed to take pictures. Then we had dinner at Mount Vernon, which was really good with an even better apple pie as desert. By 7:30 we were back at the hotel and had time to relax. First, I worked out for a while and then I joined the others at the pool. It was a really great day.
