I had never seen the FDR memorial, either. It’s very extensive, and very serene. Also, it’s surrounded by cherry blossom trees, on the south side of the tidal basin.\n<\/p>\n

\nnot a great photo, but i don’t think many people realize you can see the capitol all the way from the tidal basin.<\/em><\/p>\n


\nafrican-american civil war memorial<\/em><\/p>\n

We ended the day with the other building of the National Gallery of Art, and saw an amazing Dada exhibit. It gave me fond memories of my Russian-constructivist days.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon, we headed to Reagan airport to catch our flight that was delayed by over 6 hours because of a huge storm. It left at the last possible minute before cutoff, and we got home around 12:15am.<\/p>\n

I skipped over a ton here, but I think at this point I’ve seen pretty much everything in Washington DC. It’s an odd city. However, the cherry blossom festival is absolutely worthwhile. Therefore: SEE IT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
