Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the nation's capital, Washington D.C. I have never realized how interesting D.C. was and I think we really took advantage of all the amazing memorials and museums that are at the tip of our fingers while we visited. Although the trip I took was short, I researched all the very interesting museums and memorials that are just a mere few blocks away from each other. Everyone has heard of the big monuments, which includes The White House and The National Mall, but there is so much more to the city than the basics.
