Wednesday, 13 November 2013 0 comments
Washington, DC is the ultimate place for a tour of history where visitors can feel at one with the early beginnings of the United States by seeing and reading the original Constitution. One of the most notable memorials in Washington, DC is the 19-foot President Lincoln statue. Organize your group and travel by charter bus. Washington, DC is best seen with a large tour group, travelling together for glimpses of history.
Other Washington, DC memorials and museums include the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, National Museum of Natural History, National Air & Space Museum, National Museum of American History, National Zoological Park, Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, National Archives, the Arlington National Cemetery and the U.S. Capitol Building, all symbolic of significant events or persons in American history.
A tour of Washington, DC should start at the White House where there are lots of photo opportunities for visitors. Breakfast can be delightful at the White House Fresh Farm Market at Vermont Avenue where visitors can have a feast of fresh-baked breads and choices of healthy fruits. A visit to the Newseum should be next on the itinerary. This 250,000 sq.ft. museum is dedicated to news and its history. The Wolfgang Puck famous restaurant named The Source can be found next to the Newseum where visitors and tourists can have a sumptuous lunch. Another good place to have lunch is the Good Stuff Eatery, offering simple low-key burgers.
At the National Portrait Gallery, the famous Obama print by Shepart Fairey is on display, together with portraits of the previous presidents of the United States. From here, visitors can just walk to see Madame Tussauds’ The Presidents Gallery and pose with lifelike figures of the First Couple in wax. After this itinerary, the group can now choose to board the charter bus. Washington DCs sports teams including the Washington Wizards basketball team can be seen at play at the Verizon Center if members of the group are into sports.
The National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institute is another must-see in Washington, DC. Many of the First Ladies’ gowns are on exhibit here. There is also the American Presidency exhibition for viewing. Cedar Hill, the former residence of Frederick Douglass, one of America’s most gifted orator and statesmen is another place to visit. Its location on top of a hill will give visitors a breathtaking view of the surrounding city.
The Washington National Cathedral, the site of President Obama’s Inaugural Prayer Service is another landmark that is worth a visit. Nearby is the Equinox where Todd Gray serves farm-to-table food for lunch. The Restaurant Nora is another eating place nearby featuring organically grown food. Georgetown can be the next stop of the charter bus. Washington, DC retailers, shops and boutiques are located in Georgetown Park where many young designers feature their creations. Watching a performance at the Kennedy Center can be a fitting end to a busy sightseeing day. Citronelle by Michel Richard is a recommended place to have dinner. Another stop at the Abe Lincoln Memorial will be inspiring to see at day’s end when it is illuminated by moonlight.

Washington DC Monuments
Tuesday, 21 May 2013 0 comments
Washington DC Monuments honor Presidents, politicians, generals and soldiers. You'll find monuments all around the city, but the most famous are on or near the National Mall. Even to visit just those, you'll be better off getting a ticket for one of the hop-on-hop-off buses that circle the Mall or take a taxi.
One of the first Monuments that spring to mind is the Washington Monument. It's the most prominent feature of the District's skyline. It's that 555 foot high (185 meters) obelisk at the center of the Mall. You can get great views of Washington DC from the top. Tickets for the elevator to the observation deck can be obtained for free at a kiosk near the base of the monument. Arrive early because these tickets are very popular. You can also reserve a ticket in advance by phone or internet for only a couple of bucks.
The next monument that you will want to visit is the Lincoln Memorial. This is the Greek Classical looking building that was on the U.S. penny for years. It's at the western end of the Mall. Behind it are the Potomac and the bridge to Arlington. Inside is the 19 foot high (6 meters) marble statue of Abraham Lincoln seated in contemplation. This memorial is open to the public day and night.
Stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for a great view of the Washington Monument, the Mall, and the Capitol Building at the other end of the Mall.
On either side of the reflecting pool that stretches in front of the Lincoln Memorial you will find the Vietnam War Memorial, the Korean War Memorial and the Roosevelt Memorial. There is a Women in Vietnam Memorial near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
Visit the Jefferson Memorial while you're at this end of the Mall. It is located across the tidal basin. It is a beautiful domed, circular building with a statue of Thomas Jefferson inside. If you happen to be visiting in spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, this is especially pretty.
There are several other monuments and memorials around The Mall. The World War II Memorial lies along the central part of the National Mall between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial at one end of the reflecting pool. Near the Capitol Reflecting Pool at the east end of the Mall is the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial.
Away from the Mall find the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
In Arlington National Cemetery you will find the Tomb of the Unkown Soldier as well as a the grave of President John F. Kennedy.
Many of these Washington DC Monuments are open late at night for visits. Most are illuminated making the skyline of Washington DC truly memorable.
