Washington DC Trip Part 2 May 5, 2011
Posted by Emily in : Trips , trackbackNote to all of you: If you plan to visit Washington DC and have high hopes of photographing really cool things in the Smithsonian, FORGET IT. Anything really worth photographing (like the constitution and Jefferson’s book collection) CANNOT BE PHOTOGRAPHED.
Friends, that meant I lugged around a lot of camera gear for NOTHING. To top it off, security at certain buildings, like the Capital Building, rivals airport security.
Here we have the beautiful White House.
It has LOTS of security. I was sort of nervous taking pictures of it . . . check out those binoculars! They probably know what make and model my lens was after looking through those!
This is also at the White House. The detailing on the building is really beautiful.
I heard these townhouses across the street from the White House are reserved for dignitaries and other leaders of foreign countries.
The Library of congress was BEAUTIFUL.
Oh. My. Gosh. STUNNING.
Look at the ceiling! Look at the woodwork!
Look at the columns! The murals! The arches! The statues!
Look at the architecture! Really, do I need to say more?! IT WAS GORGEOUS!
This trip really got me excited to take my kids to see our nations capital when they get a little older. And by older, I mean like 12+ . :)
