Celebrating A Milestone at the Monument

Jason met me downtown for dinner and a "show" last night to celebrate my birthday. Our show was the beautiful view from the top of the Washington Monument! The skies were a bit overcast, but the experience was still extraordinary. We were up in the monument as the sun set.

Inside the monument at 550 feet above ground!

The view south to the Jefferson Memorial on the Tidal Basin.

The view north to the White House and the Ellipse.

Back at the base after the sun completely set.
