If you have been following me for awhile you know that one of my favorite cities is Washington DC. I went there last month and these are the highlights.
I enjoy getting pictures with the Washington Monument and Capital. The Mall, or big green grassy area with museums and monuments is a place I enjoy walking around. You get to see tourists and people from all over the world, great architecture and wander in any of the buildings at no cost.

National Gallery of Art
The place I feel most at home in DC.
National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden
This garden is filled with great sculptures and in the summer a fountain and in the winter an ice skating rink!

National Gallery East Building
This is the modern section of the National Gallery and was designed by IM Pei and has a great Henry Moore piece made for the opening at the entrance.
Museum of the Bible
Suggested by a co-worker I visited the Museum of the Bible. It is not right on the mall and does cost. It was cool seeing the illuminated manuscripts, especially cause I was in the midst of my Medieval Art History Class.

United States Botanic Garden
This wonderful plant oasis is also located on the mall, close to the capital building.

Friends
Eating, laughing, talking. So great to see my friends in DC.
National Cathedral
The National Cathedral is in DC and is stunning. I got to go and wander around the cathedral grounds with Heather and her girls.

Beautiful weather and places, and you look so happy to see your friends Sara, as are they you.
Yes, getting to see friends is one of the best parts of life!
So beautiful! The sunny weather was perfect but I see that it was also a bit cold in some moments, hence the wool cap. Hehe, I loved those two photos of you, one with the wool cap and the other without, like those spot the difference games, so the background is also different but you are you, smiling and shining 😇
Aww you are so sweet, thanks @mipiano
wow, visited very nice nice place, looks like it was fun. The selfies with you and the girls are awesome
Thanks I love that one of me and the girls so much!!
I love the squirrels, always so nice posing for photos, the selection of places to visit is very interesting, the Bible museum must be very interesting, I had never heard of it.
I lived in DC for 6 years and had not heard of the Bible museum. There are so many things to do and see in DC!
Wow!! indeed Washington is beautiful and I do not need a soothsayer to tell me that. Thanks for sharing these amazing pictures with us your readers.
You are welcome Tammy!
Awesome! All sound like must-visit destinations, each offering its own unique charm and beauty.
Yes, DC is really wonderful!
Impressive place, beautiful photos, no doubt these are places that are worth knowing, and the best part, sharing with friends, greetings from Venezuela.
