Washington Monument

A friend told me I could go to the top of the monument but I couldn’t get the ticket on time:(

(PC: Washington Magazine)

If you REALLY want to get to the top of the monument get your computer ready💻! The government will release next day entrance tickets at 10am EST. However it usually sold out within 10 seconds 😭😭

The sole reason why I went to this museum was free admission lol, but that also explains why I was so in awe that i could see authentic stuff like the actual ruby slippers from the wizard of Oz.

They also displayed the history is American railway 🚃 , the star spangled banner 🇺🇸… and MORE!

Renwick Gallary

This was next to the White House and I got some time to kill:)
