Washington Monument in DC

Most people in US must know what that is. That is the famous Washington Monument in Washington DC. On 6th November 2004, we took one of our best friends, Raymond, to tour DC. Raymond resides in Hong Kong, China and DC is a wonderful place for him to visit in order to know more about US history.

That monument was built in honor of George Washington. The shape of that monument is like an Egyptian obelisk, 555 feet and 5/8 inches high. It was finished on 6th December 1884. It is one of the older attractions in DC. While we were in the Mall area, we was able to see it from a lot of places and it looked nice from different angles. We found this angle quite attractive since it had the reflection in the water. Also, the curved side walk by the water was very artistic. It would be a lot better if there was an airplane on the top right corner. We simply could not spend too much time waiting for one.
