Geri, do you have any idea why the flag is flying half mast over this building? Is that the Treasury Building? I'm horribly embarrassed I don't know for certain which building this is. It also looked like the flag may have been flying half mast in one of your pictures of the Capitol Building, but I'm not sure.
These pictures are wonderful Geri! Thanks for posting them.
I went to Washington D.C. when I was 13 or 14 years old. My History class took a trip there in 1976 for the Bicentennial. We were there for about 5 days during Spring Break.

Yes that is the Treasury Building! I did'nt take as many pictures as I should of cause it was so dang hot that we happened onto a Gay airconditioned karaoke bar and stayed there all day long! That's another story!
We were there the week of September !! last year. that may be the reason for the flags at half mast, if not I really don't know why!
Thanks David

Wow nice pictures of Washington Geri! I've been there a couple times myself! Did you go to the Holocoust Museum? That would be something you would never forget!

I've been to Washington a few times, too -- most recently last July when the temp was about 105 every day. But it was very fun. Tullio, I went to the Holocaust museum, and you're right, it was unforgettable -- at least the first couple of floors. My kids and I got there a couple of hours before closing, thinking that would be plenty of time. No way. The museum is arranged chronologically, and we were looking at everything so carefully that were only up to about 1942 when the museum announced it was closing. We sprinted through the next few floors! But it was fascinating.

Hi Katherine,
It was pretty fasinating. And very disturbing. It took me awhile to shake it off.
Both times I was in Washington was May. It was incredibly hot then too!
But it's a Very impressive city. I would love to spend a couple weeks there in cooler times and just sightsee. I was at a weekend trade show both times and had little time to do much! Maybe next time!
