The Washington Monument calls on me!

I rode up to the Monument for this picture, but visited earlier in the week and actually went to the top. I had to take the elevator. In the old days, they used to let you walk (or run) up the stairs to the top, but that isn't allowed anymore. Sometimes, you can walk down the stairs too, but I didn't have that chance. There are neat engravings on the various blocks that can be seen when you take the stairs. Each state sent a block, so the engravings include those inscriptions.
