obi Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Yes, I went to Washington DC with my gf and her family. For those who have never been, I must say it's really cool. We seen a lot of stuff, and I was about 400 ft. from the leader of our nation. How in the world can someone not be excited? It was AWESOME. My gf stuck her arm in the White House gate and stole some grass from the lawn and got yelled at by a cop. It was really cool. I have tons of pics. The first pic is of me and my gf in front of the Abe monument. It was really huge.
obi Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 This second pic is of the Vietnam war name wall. It was really sad to see all off the names. Some people there were crying, and it's understandable.
obi Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 This is my gf in front of the Virginia pillar at the WWII monument.

obi Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 This is the last pic I can post for a while. It's the capital building and the white house and the washington monument.. It was late when we got to the white house, but it was cool. I've combined them into 1 image. I took all of these pictures too, btw. (except the first) I think I'm a half-way decent photographer.
obi Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 Originally posted by Darth Groovy The pic, the gf, or the monument? The monument you nerd =P The pic was huge too, but I re-sized it. Anybody ever been to DC?
TK-8252 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Originally posted by obi Anybody ever been to DC? *Raises hand* Came all the way from central Virginia to eat at the closest Cheese Cake Factory... which happened to be in DC.
Treacherous Mercenary Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 I have for a day, but the timing to come was bad.... On a Sunday no less I believe.
El Sitherino Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Originally posted by obi Anybody ever been to DC? once to pick up some.... "medicine" <_<
Pie™ Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Nice pics! I've been in DC, long time ago though...
IG-64 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Sounds fun, abe memorial looks cool. I think i'm a fairly decent photographer as well, and now that I have a digital camera you might see some of the stuff I shoot.
Datheus Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 I was there a few years ago. Before the WWII memorial was built, unfortunately. It was pretty interesting.
RpTheHotrod Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 How about a latest picture of you? An up-close one.
obi Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 Originally posted by RpTheHotrod How about a latest picture of you? An up-close one. um......ok. I guess I'll take one and post it right quick. I think I actually look decent in that hat now that I am in half-way good shape. >_>
Joetheeskimo Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Originally posted by obi The monument you nerd =P The pic was huge too, but I re-sized it. Anybody ever been to DC? Sure have. Great visit I got to see the White House too.
edlib Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 I was in DC on the night of the 2000 elections. We had a gig the next night in one of the big hotels downtown... a couple of blocks from the White House. I woke up in the morning, went downstairs for breakfast... only to encounter: "WHAT do you mean we don't know who is the next President?!?!!" Got to see some of the sights that day before work... but I can only say the mood around town, everywhere we went, was a bit surreal. In my own, marginal way, I felt I was part of history where and when it was happening.
Rogue15 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 i've been there once. it was cool. didn't go on any tours or anything tho. just walked around outside.
