A Tour of Washington DC's Memorials and Monuments

Washington DC is famous for its giant collection of American History. On this tour we walk the DC National Mall and explore the Washington DC memorials and monuments of American titans.
Our travel spans from the beginning of the DC National Mall and a Lincoln Memorial Tour to The Vietnam Memorial, stopping by The Jefferson Memorial, Teddy Roosevelt Island, and the FDR showcase. While on a Lincoln Memorial Tour, we'll make pit stops to smaller monuments like the Albert Einstein statue, George Mason, the WWII memorial, and the monument dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr.
So join me on the next adventure of our Capital City journey, as we walk across the DC National Mall and explore the Washington DC Memorials. I'll see you On Tour!

Wow! I just realized that it’s been 20+ years since we’ve last visited D.C. There are so many new additions that I wasn’t even aware of. My hubby loves this kind of stuff. I’m going to impress him by using your D.C. videos as our “Things To Do in D.C.” 😉☺️😁 Thank you. 👍🏽

Thank you so much for the great feedback and support. I last went a decade ago and between the time I went in Feb. 2022 and 2012, there were so many changes and new museums. Even as I filmed the museums video, they had closed the air and space the day after my visit for remodeling.

nice job men! can you realize a route 66 documentary?

Great job! I’ve been to Washington DC in my middle school days of travel and field trips. There was this one statue that I never forgot and it’s been over 30 years ago. I believe the statue was called the awakening and it may have been in one of those parks in DC. Can you find that statue or can you tell meThe proper name for the statue? It was stunning to me as a kid because it was like a person was awakening from the grounds within the park.

There is a Statue called awakening closer to Maryland. I am not sure if this is the one you mean but it’s definitely a unique sculpture to take in

Thanks for taking the time to reply! This could very well be it, but for some reason I remember there being green grass. Maybe they have made modifications to the area. Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

I live here in the DMV and haven't visited those monuments in over 40 years😏

[@JoseOnTour]

I think when we live in an area the tourist attractions become background noise. i grew up in NYC and never visited any landmark. Now that I’ve been gone I find myself becoming a tourist and appreciating the landmarks more
