There are many “must see” places in Washington, DC. I could name several - The White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Smithsonian museums, the Washington Monument, the National Mall (green space), the Washington National Cathedral, etc… While seeing the government buildings and monuments are a fabulous experience during the day, it is also a special experience to view them lit up at night.

There will be days that don’t remotely go according to plan when you travel. In fact, you will sometimes have to completely abandon the plan and “wing it.” Today was one of those days.
