Friday in DC: White Stone of varying height

On Friday morning we made sure to get down to the Washington Monument booth even earlier (not long after they opened) and we were able to pick up some of the last tickets available.

Our tickets were for the 3:30 tour, so we visited the department of agriculture farmer’s market and then walked through the natural history museum and American history museum.

In the mid-afternoon, we walked over to a windswept Washington Monument to use our tickets and finally go up to the top.

After the monument, we went east on the subway to check out Wise Guys pizza for dinner. Then we took a bike taxi to the Hyatt and used their business services office to print our new White House tour confirmations.

After that, we headed to the capital so I could take a lot of night shots.

From the Capital, we walked north to the Supreme Court.

We went to Union Station before heading home. On the way home, we decided we wanted to get drinks (alcohol for me and water for Sam) to have at our apartment. We took a wrong turn in Eckington and found ourselves in a really bad neighborhood, we even got to see a drug deal on our way home.
