    National Mall (monuments) Washington, DC

    Walk through history as we stroll onto the South Lawn of the White House grounds and learn about its history, hear stories of Presidents who have lived there and talk about the buildings that surround the White House. Our next stop is the Washington Monument where we will learn about and see pictures during construction of the obelisk and the rules regarding other buildings compared to the Monument. We will then visit the WWII Memorial before walking down the Reflecting Pool on our way to the Lincoln Memorial. (My favorite!) See the mistakes made in the memorial and ‘easter eggs’ hidden in plain sight! Lastly, we will walk through the Vietnam Memorial to learn how the wall is organized and how it was meant to be viewed, including the symbolism that is embedded in the wall.
