The Iconic White House and Washington Monument

Posted in: , , ,

Is there anyone who visits Washington DC and who does not go see the White House? I knew I couldn't miss it, I even sent a notice to Obama that I was coming. Unfortunately, he had to meet with Hillary that day, the only excuse I would accept of course, lol. Seriously though, you can send a request through your local rep to get a tour of the White House, our timing was just off as the days we were in DC were not in the schedule.

We managed to get permission to tour the Pentagon and Capitol Buildings, post for another day. As for the Washington Monument, one just couldn't avoid it. It is visible for miles around based on where you are around the city, I just had to try to get as many shots as I could of it, below are some of them.

    Lovely pics. Enjoy your house jare. Love your afro - you're really rocking it. Nice top too. Seems you've lost a tiny bit of weight or may be it's the black pants. Suits you.

    Something funny about that monument with the caption: "up close and personal." Lol. Don't know why:)

      I kept off some of that weight I lost back in February, though now after the naija trip, some of it is back.

      And now I'm looking at that picture funny, and seeing things, lol...
