Washington, D.C. Part 1

We were able to sightsee Sunday and Monday. We rode the Metro into the city and began our walking tour of the city following a delicious lunch at the cafe in the American Indian Museum, one of the newer Smithsonian buildings.


I had to stop for a photo in front of the Department of Education.
