Arrived in the evening, figured out the Metro, and then took a nice sunset walk along the National Mall.
Capitol Tour
I was looking forward to a tour of the Capitol building to see the rotundas, sculptures, and paintings that I had never seen in-person before.
Supreme Court
This was a very impressive marble building. Inside was a museum-like gallery with history, and was able to attend a short lecture in the courtroom (though no photos were allowed). I tried to attend one of the sessions that was scheduled for the week, but was unlucky in the lottery.
Botanical Gardens
National Portrait Gallery
National Postal Museum
Another impressive building next to Union Station with a lot of exhibits and postal-related artifacts. They had many custom-built wall "trays" to pull out and look at collections of stamps.
National Archives
Renwick Gallery
Police Week Cars
Another Police Week event where many older police cars were lined up along the street, probably staging for a parade.
Natural History Museum
Hirshhorn Museum
A donute-shaped building for the Museum of Modern Art. One of their current exhibits was OSGEMEOS art with a yellow theme made by two twins from Brazil, which I enjoyed.
Police Week Procession
Another Police Week event where hundreds (thousand?) of officers lined the streets on the way to the Capitol lawn, and then buses carrying families of those killed or disabled in the line of duty towards a memorial event.
Botanical Gardens
National Air and Space Museum
Library of Congress
Visited for the start of their weekly "Live!" night event where they hosted a DJ playing beats that echoed through the impressive building.
National Zoo
