Hey guys! Happy MLK Day 
It was a gorgeous day here in Washington, D.C. and I had the day off from work and school. I was supposed to go ice skating with a friend but it was too crowded, so we decided to have an impromptu sightseeing tour instead
This is the type of thing I am always too lazy to do in my own city (as opposed to when I’m living abroad or something), so it was nice
First we checked out the Washington Monument:
Did you know that the Washington Monument is actually made from two different types of stone? You can really see the division in this picture:
After the Washington Monument we made our way over to the Lincoln Memorial:
Lincoln says “what up!”
I’m off to bed — busy day tomorrow! I have my first quiz in Anatomy & Physiology, I need to finish up a grad school application, and then my mom is flying in in the evening so I’ll be picking her up from the airport.
Goodnight!
Okay this post made me REALLY homesick. Beautiful pictures and I think DC is so beautifull!
Did you decide if you’re running the GW Parkway run yet? (In response to your comment on my blog!). Also, I ran the Cherry Blossom last year and LOVED it. You will love it too – it’s beautiful!
Have a good night!
those pictures are gorgeous…you should seriously consider doing photography full-time because you always have the most stunning pictures!
What gorgeous photos – and what a beautiful day in Washington
Thanks for sharing!
gorgeous photos!
So beautiful! What a better way to spend MLK day!
Beautiful! I love downtown DC.
What an appropriate day to do an impromptu tour of Washington! Love it!
Good luck on the quiz, beautiful photos!
Those are gorgeous pics!!! I’ve never been to D.C. so I especially loved this post!
I am the exact same way! I live in the DC area too and rarely do the sightseeing thing. It was so nice on Monday– good call going down there!
