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:
MY OTHER RECIPES
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!
