Washington Monument and National WWII Memorial
I live near Washington, DC, and the area is full of National Parks, Monuments, Historic Sites, and Museums. Most of them are free to visitors. It is a wonderful place to spend a holiday if you have kids. The sites are managed by the National Park Service, which is celebrating its 100th birthday.

Lovely images of our heritage, Marie! I’ve been lucky to visit there for one whole day years ago, road the tour bus and saw quite a bit. I forgot I need to add that to my list of national parks!

Thanks, Terri I recenlty learned from my niece, who is a Park Ranger in Massachusetts, that every park in DC is run by the National Park Service. Who knew. I assumed some of the were run by the District.
