Welcome to my FINISHED Washington, DC pages! Well, at least they're finished for now but this is definitely one of those places that you can easily go back again and again. So, we'll consider this as a "work in progress" and I'll be sure to add tips as I return.
Please take some time to see Washington through my eyes, camera and thoughts. You know me... I have to involve a degree of personal feeling into my tips simply because these places create these emotions. And, its not good to hold things inwards, right? I hope you won't hold such thoughts and opinions against me as I'm only trying to be honest.
Come on in and see some of Washington, DC with me!
I'd truly hate to say what percentage of the things to see in this area I've actually seen. I think it would be daunting to know as it would surely be a tiny little number. But that's the beauty of places like Washington, DC, don't you see?
There are the always there, reassuring sights and there are the many museums and galleries that are always in motion to bring new items and artifacts to an interested public. How can you lose with so many choices?
When to visit Washington, DC? Well, the short answer is anytime you have the opportunity to visit! The longer, more reasonable answer is more like Spring and Fall. I say this because Summer is obviously a busy tourist time but moreso because the Washinton area can be oppressively hot and humid... after all, it was built upon a reclaimed swamp!
Spring brings the blossoms of the Cherry Trees and Fall brings cooler temps and an end of the Summer tourists. Winter can often bring snow and frigid temperatures so come when you can! But DO come!
- Pros:Multi-Ethnic City Truly Representative of our Nation
- Cons:Traffic & Too Expensive!
- In a nutshell:You Should Do This!

Back again to see your finished product. Good job. Many museums & monuments worth seeing, but I do love the grace, rythm, and "movement" of the Korean monument. Must be the capes... the men are so "with us".
Great DC photos and comments! Not that expensive if you're on an expense account - eh? Happy Birthday!
I didn't know your Dad was in the Army Air Corp too....
Excellent write ups on the Arlington National Cemetery and the Holocaust Museum. Thanks for sharing your inisghts. Mark
Good tips here! Bring back nice memories. Were there last year but unable to visit all those places to see. Lucky you, you went up in the Wmonument. cheers!
Great tips and pictures of some of the more important things DC houses. Arlington is indeed something you remember. I did not know it was now the tomb of the unknown. Rather sad. Would like to see the Holocaust museum. Touching tips. Joyce
Your tips on the Holocaust museum are very important, perhaps now more than ever. Good job.
