Our Last Night in DC On our last night, we stayed in DC to see the Capitol and the Washington Monument after dark.
It is really impressive to see the capitol all lit up.
Isn't that pretty?
This is a Civil War monument by the reflecting pool.
We didn't have the time or energy to see all the monuments at night, but we did see a neat way to see more next time - a segway tour. For a mere $70 per person, you can take a segway tour of the monuments at night. That sounds expensive - but worth it! We saw a group making their rounds and it looked like so much fun. If we start saving now, perhaps we will be able to afford that when we go back (assuming that I am invited when they decide to return to Washington, D.C.).

Anyway, as you can see, even after a long day (which included more walking than the previous days, I'm sure), our sense of humor was still intact! We had a wonderful time and even though we hated to give up and head for home, I think it was time for a rest! I love to walk, but we really took it to the extreme! While it would be impossible to see it all, we saw a lot - and made note of what to see next time.
