- This travelogue of Washington, District of Columbia, the capital of the United States of America, begins at the 500+ foot tall Washington Monument, situated at the end of beautifully landscaped mall, the monument commemorating the country's first president, George Washington. The city itself was founded in its role of being the permanent seat of the government and was designed by French architect Pierre Charles L'Enfant. The iron-domed Capitol stands at the geographic center of the city, both the Senate and the House of Representatives meet in that building. The next stop is the White House, the official residence of the President and the President's family. The next stop is the National Archives building, which houses important government documents such as the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The Roosevelt administration built what was at the time the largest government building, the Department of the Interior, which covers approximately five and one half acres. A series of other stops focuses on what are arguably the city's most familiar buildings, both governmental and non-governmental, including the buildings housing the non-profits, the Smithsonian Institute, and the Red Cross, and the Old Ford Theater, where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. The travelogue concludes at the memorial dedicated to his memory. Spring is a popular time to visit, especially when the city is adorned with a plethora of ornamental Japanese cherry trees, which usually are in bloom the last week of March into early April.—Huggo
