Washington DC - Washington Monument

 In 1789 George Washington was unanimously elected the first President of the United States.  The Washington Monument, at 555 feet, 5 1/8 inches towers over everything in the Nation's Capital

 The rain was really coming down when we got to here.

 We took the 70 second elevator ride to the 500-foot level for spectacular views of the city.

Views out the windows from the top.
