Washington, DC Monuments and Museums

My last day in DC was a bit sprinkly and it didn't look like it was going to get any better. I decided to walk around and check out the White House and monuments before heading to some museums. Luckily I avoided the rain on my walk.

The White House doesn't look all that impressive from this angle.

I liked the design of the building, so I thought I'd check out Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden first. I saw a sign saying no photography, I'm not sure if it was just that room or in general, so I only took a picture of the outside area.

Here are some pictures taken around the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

Washington, DC

It was rainy and I didn't arrive until later in the day, so this will be a short post.

After parking my car where I'd be staying the night, I walked to the train. Pretty cool train station..

This was beside the National Museum of American History I believe.

And "The Mall". I don't really like that it's called that..it seems odd to me.
