Washington Monument

If you don’t want to get up early on the day of your visit to wait in line for the free tickets, you can order at nps.gov for a small fee. You must reserve pretty far in advance for peak summer and weekend days though.

when we went here they said it was too windy to go up to the top, bad day for junior high kid :( I might still be scarred. haha

One of the coolest things in washington dc!
There are windows at the vary top where you can see every thing in dc even arlington!
Your guide on the elevator back down shows you diffrent things by the glass of the elevator fogs dark and go’s clear make sure you stand by the door in the elevator down!
One of the coolest things in dc!

The view is amazing

It’s breathtaking at 5:30am when you’re on the beltway and the sun is just coming up….it’s more than that. I worked across the river from it and it never got boring. That was the thing I looked forward to every morning I went to work. As a kid or even teen living in Ohio, I never thought I’d live or get to work in DC, funny how things work out.
