The pictures are: 
1. Guards at the White House – 55lb of equipment, 500 rounds of
ammunition each.
2. The Korean War Monument – very thought provoking.
3. Entry to the Presidential Box at the Kennedy Center
4. The Washington National Cathedral
We awoke to a beautiful clear day and walked the ¾ of a mile to the White House for our 9am tour. What fun. We had to go through a lot of security and checks and
double-checks but it was worth it. We basically saw all of the White House except the second and third floors. You couldn’t bring a camera into the White House, so there are not pictures inside that we took.
Then it was back to the hotel to pick up our camera and we took the subway to the Lincoln Memorial and then walked to the Vietnam, Korean and WWII Memorials. We were having a great tour of the WWII Memorial when a young girl in the group fainted. So the tour guide had to help her.
We hoped a cab then and went to the Kennedy Center – what a place. There are six theaters in the Center from very large to very small. We had a very nice guide who showed us the entire place including the different Presidential boxes at the different performing halls.
We ate in the Kennedy Center and then took the subway and a cab to the Washington
National Cathedral, the second largest Cathedral in the United States, behind St. John, which we saw last year in New York. We spent at least an hour there being a tour by a delightful guide. A massive choir and orchestra were practicing for a concert and the performance was wonderful
We then took the subway about ½ hour to the Easter Market which is the largest outdoor arts & craft market plus a really large food market. We got there just as they were closing so we will probably go back early tomorrow morning.
Then we went to Georgetown and to the Apple store to switch out Barb’s iPhone because hers broke. The store was wonderful and we got the new phone and with their recommendation, went up the street in a great Italian restaurant. Barb had a huge crab cake and Ed had a sirloin salad - a really wonderful meal.
We took a shuttle back to DuPont Circle, walked around and then walked the couple of blocks to the hotel.
Time for bed for tomorrow is the 4th.
