George Washington monument-Date with american history.

It was a beautiful day. from the cold winters, the weather was getting much more soothing. however, there was still some chill in the wind. But, today was different. I drove new jersey, and reached earlier morning at washington. Heard so much about it, i was raring to go around the city. The map, directions from friends and internet, everything all set. i had my hotel reservations confirmed, and was going to live close to the capitol building. I had started my tour of DC on foot and covered the capitol building first. washington monument was an amazing sight. the way it has been maintained, the park around it, the proximity to all the key places like the capitol, white house etc, makes it an amazing monument. its enormous size also is such a huge mark for american history and their independence. I leave you with some pictures which show different perspective f it. do tell me your thoughts on the pictures.
