One of the last things that we wanted to check off our bucket list was visiting the Washington Monument. Right after we moved to Maryland three years ago there was an earthquake and a hurricane and with that the monument had damage and was closed for renovations. We hoped it would open before we moved from the area and thankfully it did. We got online and reserved our tickets for a day in early July. We were so glad we did because the day we chose happened to be very hot and we about melted. We didn't have to wait in line for tickets and then wait in line to get in. We just got in the line to go up to the top. It was an amazing view at the very top. It reminded me of when we went up to the top of the Arch in St. Louis!
Looking up the Mall toward the Capitol.
Looking out toward the Tidal Basin and Reagan National Airport.
Looking the other way down the Mall toward the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery in the distance.
Looking over the White House!
Had to take this shot. Out just at the Horizon you can see a White building. That is the Washington DC Temple! Love that place!
The kids at the top!!
The kids at the bottom!!
So glad we were able to fit that in before we left the area!!
