Zach's Washington DC Trip Part II

A Pictorial Blog
by JT Pilaf

Where's Part I you ask? I tried to get them all on one blob but I kept running across a Blogger internal error. So I'll post Part I of Zach's trip soon. This day began with a trip to the White House. No pictures are allowed in the White House.
Here's the Supreme Court Building. I asked the lady you was giving us a short lecture if she's seen my fender bender case in the papers that she's read over the years. I assured her it wasn't my fault.

Here's Zach's 7th and 8th Grade class from St. John's and the 7th and 8th Grade class from Holy Ghost in front of the Capital Building.


The Capital Building.



The Spiral Staircase in the Capital Building.



JQ Adams desk location, also known as "the whispering spot"... he placed his desk here supposedly to hear the opposition talking.

Korean War Memorial




Lincoln Memorial



The view from the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial. Unfortunately they're renovating the pool and won't be done for about 2 years. I'm told.

Jen-nee.





Zach and me at the Air And Space Museum in Dulles, VA.


Our tour guide Don Walters. Here we're listening to the story of the Alabama regiment. Left side all the way to the hills is Little Round Top. Alabama will attack on Day Two, July 2nd 1863.
There's a statue behind us of an Alabamian Lady (can't remember, but it means something) pointing at Little Round Top Hill.


We had a wonderful time and I can't wait to go back.
