If visiting the Lincoln Memorial does not give you goose pimples, then you must have ice in you veins. The majesty of the statue, the words on the wall paint a picture of who this man was. Have been there at least three times, and each one is better than the last.

One of the more famous monuments, it was a pleasure to see it in person. It is even more spectacular than i thought it would be. Disappointing the reflecting pools are undergoing maintenance but it is important these monuments are maintained.
