I visited Washington D.C. 25 years ago - I had so much fun. It was April and the cherry blossoms were blooming. I got to see everything, including the White House and the still intact East Wing. I didn’t get to go in the White House, but there were less barriers around it before the 9/11 tragedies. I am so glad I got to see and go in the Capitol many years before the disgrace of J6. Seeing the Lincoln Memorial really put things in perspective. When you have a thoughtful leader, you can accomplish great things. Fast forward to today, where greed and destruction are the main focus of a thoughtless leader.

Good enjoyed visit. Once lived in metro DC

I loved DC, I also visited before 9/11, so comparatively ready access to most things. The museums were amazing, especially the holocaust museum, and I loved the National Mall and memorials. I even visited Arlington cemetery which was awe inspiring, evocative, emotional.

I expect there will be proposals for an orangutan memorial before long which will demean everything that has gone before it. By my understanding of the adjective, he is the least 'american' president I've ever been aware of.

When I visited Washington DC, I got to see no sights as I was busy attending a boring conference.

I actually got to wave at the President as him and the First Lady were arriving at the White House back in 2000. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. 😎 I still have my book and postcards of all the sights in D.C. Politics were getting more toxic, but it was still a more simpler time.
