National Mall: Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial
During our visit to the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, we were captivated by the remarkable sights before us. The Washington Monument, a gigantic structure stood proudly, illuminated against the clear night sky. On our way to the Lincoln Memorial, we toured past the WWI Memorial and along the famous reflecting pool. As we neared, we were struck by the grandeur of the monument itself, and the enormous statue of Abraham Lincoln commanded our attention. Inside the memorial, we were immersed in history as we read the engraved words of historic speeches, gaining a deeper understanding of the profound impact of Lincoln’s leadership. These iconic landmarks left an indelible impression, serving as a testament to the enduring legacy of our nation’s visionary leaders.
Pentagon 9/11 Memorial
In a solemn visit to the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial, we were deeply moved by the poignant elements that adorned the site. We were struck by the meticulously engraved benches, each bearing the names of the victims and oriented at the same angle as AA Flight 77 crashed into the building. At the heart of the memorial sat a serene reflecting pool surrounded by lush landscaping.
