Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum is one of the most popular destinations for tourists in DC.
The Apollo lunar module, one of 12 built for Project Apollo. It was built to be used in low Earth orbit to test the techniques of separation, rendezvous, and docking with the command and service module.
Smithsonian Institution Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden has an outdoor plaza with several pieces of art on display.
Washington Monument
It is nearly impossible to go into Washington, DC without seeing the Washington Monument. This spring, I had the chance to go to the top of the Washington Monument and get a bird's eye view of DC.
