Our nation's capital is a city of monuments dedicated to the history of our country and the brave men and women who have helped build our nation. From the Washington Monument, LIncoln Memorial and Jefferson Memorial to the memorials of our wars, one has only to walk among these magnificent structures to gain an understanding of what it means to be an American.
Especially beautiful times of the year in Washington DC are early spring when the Cherry Blossoms are blooming and the fall when autumn shows her beautiful colors.
There is also a wonderful network of free museums in the district run by the Smithsonian. Even the zoo is a Smithsonian property. One of the most popular exhibits there is the pandas. There are big cats as well as an interesting bird house. Something for everyone might be a good description.
