No trip to DC is complete without a tour of the monuments and some time riding the Metro. I lucked out with a perfect weather day on Saturday to walk from the Lincoln Memorial down to the Washington Monument; hot but not humid, a super rare event in late July in DC! The monuments are always such a treat and powerful reminders of our nation's history.
Despite it's flaws, I actually like the metro! When it's running smoothly you can get from A to B pretty efficiently and it's air conditioned, which is a huge plus in the summer. The long escalator rides in and out of the stations continue to be a mix of thrilling and intimidating, too!

...you showed DC in a wonderful light.
So interesting Tamar!
We're hoping to visit DC this fall, so you've got me excited about it again. Thanks, Tamar.
The monuments definitely make some great photos!
I so want to visit D.C., it is on my new bucket list. Very nice.
Love those B&W shots!
Beautiful photos, Tamar! My kids have been asking to visit DC and we had planned it just before Covid ruined everyone’s plans! It never made it back into our planning though because I think we just forgot and visited other places. I must get a DC trip back on our list!

What lovely photos! I have always wanted to visit DC.
Thank you for bringing us along!
Fabulous photos! Our son attended GWU in DC for his undergrad and we spent a lot of time there--I loved the city!
Love the photos! Have a great weekend!
I remember the metro from when we visited DC when I was a kid! It was the first time this Midwestern girl had ever seen such a thing!
