Not only can I not sleep in anymore but since the sun rises so late now, I feel like I’ve been waking up extra early. It’s ok though or else I wouldn’t have been able to see gorgeous light like this if I were 10 minutes later.
3 Things I’m grateful for this week:
2. Making fun lists like this one.
3. 7 days til Christmas!
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? My was kinda busy but I also made a lot of time to go out shooting. A lot more than I had originally expected but that’s a good thing because it always makes me happy. This was taken Saturday morning. I was super lucky to get the very first parking spot on the Roosevelt Memorial bridge. Don’t you just love it when that happens? Anyways, as I was doing my parallel parking thing, I really enjoyed this view of the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. So this was taken right in front of my car as the other cars flew right past me.
The last time I was at the Grand Canyon I was caught in the middle of a huge rainstorm. We spent most of the day trapped in the visitor center with about 50 other people. Not really the type of adventure I had anticipated but as soon as the rain stopped this beautiful fog rolled through the canyon. It made the Grand Canyon look so small because hardly anything was visible.
I always get tons of emails and messages about what to do in DC. So I thought I’d make these quick little guides to make life easier. Here are some different ways to enjoy the Lincoln Memorial.
The Lincoln Memorial is the most visisted memorial in DC. I’d recommend going as early as possible so there’d be less people crowding you. The best part is that the memorial is open 24 hours so you can go any time of the day.
The interior is just as beautiful as the exterior. This was taken at sunrise so Lincoln is feeling that early morning glow.
You can also walk around the entire memorial and see gorgeous views of the Washington Monument, the Tidal Basin and Arlington, VA
Here’s a cool view of the Lincoln Memorial from the top of the Washington Monument
It’s not uncommon to see ducklings enjoying the reflecting pool in the spring/summer time.
And if you’re lucky enough to be in the city for the fourth of July, the GW parkway off of Roosevelt island is a great place to watch the fireworks.
Walk underneath the columns for the visitor center to learn more about honest Abe. And a tip for the ladies- the bathrooms are clean 🙂
What’s your favorite part about the Lincoln Memorial? Don’t forget to share this with your friends who are planning their visit to Washington DC.
Yesterday was great! Food was fantastic and had a great time with family and friends. Back again for round 2 today 🙂
Soooo pumped for Thanksgiving. This is the agenda for today:
