This is a statue of Brigham Young in the Capitol Building. Each state is allowed two statues of important people from their history. My old roommate Tristan took us on a nice tour of the building, it's very large and full of history.
A view of the Capitol Building from the outside.
We love nature. We especially love our friends, the elephants.
This is a plane built by the Wright Brothers in 1909 for the military. It is found in the National Air and Space Museum. Very cool museum, but we only had a short time to spend there.
Dad Isakson, we took this picture especially for you. These are George Washington's teeth. They were made from animal teeth and, I believe, lead-based paint.
At the Vietnam Memorial you can read the names of all of the fallen soldiers.
This is a picture by the pond next to the Jefferson Memorial. You can see the Washington Monument in the background.
The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial is something I had never heard much about, but it was a really nice spot.
This is the Hope Diamond. It is a rare blue 54-karat diamond. It is located at the Museum of Natural History, which was another spot we had little time to appreciate.
The original Declaration of Independence and US Constitution are housed in the National Archives. The Declaration is really worn out and it is hard to read much from either document.
