Some photos of our day in Washington DC - 16th Sept

I really wanted these photos to be in chronological/geographical order, but can't get the blog formatted to do so without pulling my hair out, so hopefully you don't mind too much.
The Washington Memorial - it's rather huge 
The Washington Memorial from the Reflection Pool that's in front of the Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial - site of numerous significant history-making speeches and protests, including Martin Luther King Jr "I have a dream" speech and the anti-Vietnam protest
Us in front of the Capitol Building, hot and jet-lagged

The Whitehouse, it's quite small
