Washington DC Day 1

Some traditional and not-so-traditional sights found walking around Washington D.C.

I am still not sure what they meant by "Kiss & Ride" at the Metro Station:


No clue what building this is:


The Capital:


J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building:



The White House:



This was at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. The title of the display was something along the lines of "Man Taming a Goat". It cracked me up, because if I worked in a museum, I'm sure I would get bored with setting up traditional displays.


Roman tile mosaic:


Door detail from the Department of Justice building:


Arlington National Cemetary:


Changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier:



That night, we had tickets to a murder mystery dinner. There were some strangely dressed people in the audience that we had originally thought were part of the cast, but it turned out that they were just bizarre people in the audience.

"Kiss & Ride" - where you can pull up to drop off a spouse, then leave without parking.

Silk....you weren't supposed to kiss and tell! :)~

And man taming the goat, is that what they call that in DC?
