Just like any other 8th grader, just about anyone and everyone has seen the national monuments of Washington D.C.
However, here at GW, we were able to experience them in a different light, no pun intended.
We walked the steps of the Lincoln Memorial just as the sun set over the skyline of Washington and took a moment to observe the gorgeous scene.
Next, we walked to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and were able to acknowledge and see the great tribute to a man who impacted America greatly. 
After a few more monuments, we finally ended with a scene that truly took my breath away. The WW II Memorial is located right in between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument and provides a stunning view of both. It is circled by pillars representing each state and is centered with a large fountain as well as two grand arches on opposite sides representing the Atlantic and Pacific. It was a great blessing to be able to pay our respects to the soldiers that fought for the U.S. in this gorgeous setting.
