Visited this amazing area with the big bus tour and walked through from the Lincoln memorial to the Washington memorial around the reflection pool and WWII memorial.
The Martin Luther King memorial and tributes to Korea and Vietnam are also very thought provoking.
It is all breathtakingly grand. I am glad we visited. The area is tranquil and not too busy which surprised me a little.
We enjoyed our visit.
We visited the National Mall with our ladies church group. Was Amazing to see the beautiful memorials and just be in the presence of it all.
We were hungry and never new there were restruants in the mall . We landed up having to eat a hotdog from a Food Truck Vendor who couldn't speak enough English to conduct business. It was so frustrating. Then we went into the mall and discovered one restruant but it appeared slow so we proceeeded on only to discover that there was another cafeteria behind a quick meal grab place. What a mess! They need to have a directory at all the entrances.
A must see if you go to Washington DC. The only draw back would be the scooter rentals that will nearly run you over. It seems like it takes away the reverence of the area.
From the Lincoln memorial to the Washington one it's awe inspiring. Scene of lots if movies and newsreels, it was great to see it for real. A must see.
