When you go to DC you walk A LOT.

Dan and I went into DC today.  It was a PERFECT day; the weather was nice and there was a slight breeze which was perfect.  We started at the Library of Congress, then went to the National Archives; though I have no pictures from either of those because on top of having to go through somewhat crazy security, they don't allow ANY photography either.  However, both of them were REALLY cool and I got to see the Declaration of Independence.  That was exciting.  For me at least.  Dan was most excited about the Library of Congress.

 I love the clouds in this picture.  Dan thinks it's pretty awesome too.  Something about how the clouds make it look like something out of a fantasy.
 This, I believe, is the Federal Trade Commission building.  Or something.  I thought it was interesting.
 The Lincoln Memorial was REALLY crowded.  And also, they drained the reflecting pool because it's cracked or something.  AND the Washington Monument was closed off because it's ALSO cracked.  So apparently everything in DC is falling apart.
 The outside of the Lincoln Memorial.  See ALL those people sitting on the steps?  It was very crowded.
There is really nothing special about this photo.  I just like the way it flows. 
 Dan had a good time too.
And...our final traveling companion, Cedric the Gnome.  We walked A LOT today.  I got sunburned because apparently, sunscreen only works if you actually manage to apply it all over.  And if you're not me, because I burn through EVERYTHING.  It'd be funny if it didn't happen ALL the time.
