Join us as we visit the monument that towers over every other structure in Washington DC: the Washington Monument reaching 555 feet above the nation’s capital. The marble and granite monument honors George Washington, the first U.S. president and commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. This iconic symbol of the U.S. government is one of the many historic sites we’ll visit in Washington, D.C.
The Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the U.S. Capitol building anchor the National Mall, a roughly two-mile section of museums and monuments that draws 25 million visitors annually. More six million of those come to the memorial to President Abraham Lincoln. We’ll have plenty of time to explore other sites on the National Mall, including the Smithsonian Institute’s “Castle”, the National Gallery of Art, and the National Museum of Natural History.

You’ll also have time to shop in the many museums, memorials, and historic sites throughout the U.S. Capitol district. We’ll also take a cruise on the Potomac River and spend some time in historic Old Town Alexandria.
