Destination D.C.—Part Duex

Danny arrives in D.C. This is the first picture I took of him, and asked him to S-M-I-L-E.

As soon as we dropped our bags at the Phoenix Park, we headed to the Capitol for a tour. See Destination D.C.—Part 1 for details.



Ladies and Gentlemen…the Supreme Court.





Columns make for interesting photos.



Danny standing in front of the door of the Supreme Court. After taking this photo, he informed me, he doesn’t like S-M-I-L-I-N-G and not to ask him to do it again. If you know Danny, you’ll get the humor in that. He has a naturally grouchy look.



View looking out from the Supreme Court Building.



Another pic of the Capitol. Dang, I’m obsessed with this building!



Check out this view! It's from the tower in the Old Post Office. One of the best views of rooftops in the city.



Monuments by Moonlight. The Jefferson Monument.



Look! I trained Cody to stand on top of a pedestal. Here we are overlooking the farm at sunset. Okay, it's the Ulysses S. Grant Statue. When my statue is made, have me standing on top of my horse please. I have a photo.





The most prominent structure in D.C.—the Washington Monument.What a beautiful way to memorialize our first President.It stands 555 feet 51/8 inches tall and offers a 30 mile view. Elevators take you to the top. Not visible in my photos, there is a difference in color of the stone about 150 feet up. This marks a halt in construction for 36 years due to lack of funds, and the Civil War.



And me in front of the Washington Monument on my first trip to D.C. It was twenty years ago! Gulp.



And with Danny in front…is he SMILING? I didn’t ask him too---promise!
