obi Posted December 30, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obi Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share 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.

IG-64 Posted December 30, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted December 30, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
