Washington DC (3)

It was a sunny day on Sunday but still very cold. We went to US Capitol in the morning. This is the place where the Congress meets. Unfortunately, it was closed on Sunday.







Cheese!

We then went to Thomas Jefferson Memorial. He was the third president of USA.

We also visited Madame Tussaud's museum. It was the same museum as in New York but here they have all the president's statues.

By evening, we went to visit the White House. This is where the president lives. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to go in. We saw police and secret service everywhere.


On your mark, get set... Go!!
