Washington DC

My friend Buhle and I went sightseeing in Washington DC. Don't ask me why we planned to go at night but we did :( . Most people said we wouldn't accomplish much if we go sightseeing at night but we DID. It's actually so peaceful touring at night,however I do think I want to go back to Washington DC during the day.

We saw THE WHITE HOUSE: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC. The White House is the oldest public building in Washington, DC and has been the home of every president except George Washington.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT:Constitution Ave. and 15th St. SW Washington, DC. The memorial to George Washington, our nation's first president, is the most prominent landmark in Washington, DC and stands as the centerpiece of the National Mall. It is the tallest structure in Washington, DC and measures 555 feet 5 1/8 inches high

My favourite stop was LINCOLN MEMORIAL: 23rd St. NW, Washington, DC. The memorial is one of Washington, DC's top attractions and occupies a prominent space on the National Mall. It is a tribute to President Abraham Lincoln, who fought to preserve our nation during the Civil War, from 1861-1865. The Lincoln Memorial has been the site of many famous speeches and events since its dedication in 1922.

My other favourite was THE CAPITOL BUILDING which is absolutely beautifulllll!!
E. Capitol St. and First St. NW, Washington, DC. The U. S. Capitol Building is open to the public for guided tours only. Visitors learn about the work of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and the impressive architecture of the most recognizable historic buildings in Washington, DC

I went on to research all the sites we went on. Many thanks to www.dc.about.com/od/tourist attractions
