DC at Night

I plan on slowly posting pictures and stories from our Christmas vacation. I didn't feel the need to make one large post so I decided I would tease everyone a little. This post will be the first of probably about three or four posts. On Thursday December 21st we decided to tour (or should I say walk) DC at night. There are a few monuments that are best viewed at night so my sister Stefanie and tour guide Mark took the liberty of showing us around. Unfortunately, we tired out quickly so we did miss several sites but we also had a lot of fun. Keep in mind this is the night that Stefanie got pulled over in the Pentagon parking lot...sorry no photo to follow.

Apparently, my camera doesn't take good pictures at night so I only have a few that turned out well enough to post. Enjoy!

The following three photos were taken at the Air Force Memorial. Tour guide Mark told us that this monument had just opened. It's an awesome monument that is perched on a hilltop with stunning views of downtown DC.

This photo turned out great! It's a picture I took of the Imo Jima (sp) Memorial. We went to this monument directly after getting pulled over by the Pentagon Police, which means Stef was still rather cranky and we were all trying to keep our distance from her.

Here's Jim and Mark at the Albert Einstein's statue. Stef's no longer cranky at this point....
