George Washington Monument and GWU

Robert arranged for us to have tickets to go up the elevator to the top of the Washington Monument.
The view from the top is pretty amazing! Washington DC is an amazing city!
The White House- which we also had an amazing tour and extra added event!
The closest we got to the Washington DC Temple. A view from the top of the Washington Monument. We didn't have time to squeeze that in with all the other things we saw! It was a great trip.
It was surprising to me to realize how much water is all around this city. The Potomac is huge.
You'll notice the monument has two different colors to it. An interesting story in itself.
There are American flags flying everywhere in town. Very wonderful.
This is the plaza outside GWU where we waited for Robert a couple of times while he grabbed books at school.
This is the place where Robert wrote most of his Master's Thesis. They had free WIFI and he bought a double chocolate each time he went. They know him pretty well and whip it up for him when they see him coming!
The fall color was great! /and you can see that Robert is actually much taller than Jeff!
