After this particular day I can surely state that I have walked through Washington DC. We took the subway to the city and after that we walked, walked and walked. We managed to see a lot in one day and consumed a lot of water after walking in sunny weather in +28 C. We were well prepared and had four bottles of water with us when we left the hotel.
We managed to ge the tickets to 10.30 am guided tour to the Capitol. Well, you can not take any food or drink to the Capitol building (not even unopened), so we had to put our water bottles into the trash bin, but it was worth it. Then we headed to Supreme Court building and to the Library of Congress. Then it was time for a sightseeing walk and we headed to the National Mall, George Washington Monument (did not get tickets to go up there), Abraham Lincoln Memorial and the White House. We ate at the old Post office building and still had time to go to the Natural history museum to see the dinosaurs. My son loved the dinosaurs soooo much and he could have walked another round just in the museum, but our legs hurt so we headed to the subway and back to hotel. Washington is a nice place, because it is based on FREEdom, most of the attractions and museums are free, you just have to stand in line to get the tickets to some places.
We still went for a car drive and passed the Pentagon building as well as some other sites in Washington DC as well.
