Ms. Arbee Goes to DC - in pictures

The White House - I was surprised you could get this close!
(of course the close-up is using zoom)

This one was taken standing on a bench in front of the Washington Monument.

This was pretty much the view if you turned right when exiting the hotel.

Me playing with settings on the new camera I bought right before the trip!
I chose the Nikon CoolPix because I made friends with it in the store the quickest...

Washington Monument - would have liked to to up, but there wasn't enough time.

Lincoln Memorial - this place was literally crawling with people! (as you can see)

Lincoln close up - if you look closely, he is making his initials in sign...AL (or LA from left to right)

I was more excited than I should be to see Kermit the Frog!
This was in the Museum of American History,
not the greatest pic, it's what I get for taking a new camera on "vacation".
