Washington DC Visit--2016

 While Mike took a class for continued medical education, my parents and myself toured Washington DC.  I was the first time in Washington DC for all three of is.

 Our hotel was conveniently located just 3 blocks from the front doors of the White House. 
 The Washington Monument is the focal point of the mall

 The front steps of the Lincoln Memorial and you can see Abe sitting powerfully in the background
 Our first look at Washington DC was on a Big Bus tour
 Arlington National Cemetery was a heavy and reverent experience.  Above is Mom and Dad by JFK's grave site and below is the changing of the guard by the tomb of the unknown soldier.

 Above is the back yard of the White House where we waited outside of in the rain for an hour and a half to get in for a tour of the east wing.
