Mrs. Stine Goes to Washington,
D.C.November 11, 2011
The White House-back view. You can tell that the President is not at home because there are no snipers
on the roof.
This is the back of a monument dedicated to Christopher Columbus. The figure on the right represents the New World and the figure on the left represents the Old World.
U.S. Capitol building
Jefferson Memorial*named after the 3rd President and the author
of the Declaration of Independence.
I visited a memorial in
honor of former
President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt (FDR). He
was president at
the beginning
and throughout
WWII.
FDR spent much of his life in a wheelchair. He was
stricken with polio as a child.
Eleanor Roosevelt
(FDR’s wife) was a delegate to the United Nations.
She worked for equal rights for
all, including
women and African
Americans.
Builders began to build the Washington Monument while George Washington was still alive. This is why it is called a monument and not a memorial. After a while, the money ran out and the builders had to stop. Years later, when trying to build again, they were unable to find the same stone. If you look closely at a photo during the day, you will be able to see where production was changed.
The new memorialhonoring Dr. Martin
Luther King.
Iwo Jima Memorial
Lincoln Memorial*36 pillars for the 36 states at the time of
his presidency.
Seated statue
of Abraha
m Lincoln inside
the Lincoln
Memorial. 19
feet tall!
WOW! This was
so impressi
ve!
The Gettysburg Address was hand carved
into the building by Italian artisans.
I loved this Memorial so much that I had to take another photo!
