Lincoln Memorial, Washington DC

How can you review a place like the Lincoln Memorial? Over the past several years, my wife and I have been on a mission. The purpose? To visit all 50 states with our children. We only have one left. The District of Columbia is on the list as a must visit. There are so many monuments and statues, and museums. Where do you begin? The Lincoln Memorial is historic and beautiful and inspiring. We've visited Gettysburg, so my kids have a grasp of the history. Seeing this monument to a great man is awe inspiring. If you have the chance, you must visit. It's that simple.

One of my absolute favorite places to visit in Washington DC. If you haven’t gone it’s a must see. The view of the lawn all the way to the Capitol is absolutely breathtaking. It’s a beautiful place to sit and think. The reflecting pools are unreal too. It’s amazing to think about how many times this great area has been full of people fighting for what they believe in. So much energy, power and beauty. If your in our nations capitol be sure to take the time to go see Lincoln.
