Onward to the Forth of July (continued)

I did think about a day trip to Washington. Yes! I did that at New Years, but that was an all chase trip, in Washington and New Carrolton. It has been a long time since I spent any time around the National Mall and the Memorials. I did some picture taking way back when I got my first SLR, but very little since. I worked in the printing office of Colonial Williamsburg so I got special treatment around the printing exhibit at the Smithsonian. I am choosing to see the main memorials and only taking a run through the Mall. I found the bus line and will take advantage of that. Only a dollar per trip. My planning tells me that the Washington Monument will be close, in order to update the elevator. I even worked in a way of adding seeing the north face of the White House. All this done in a short 11 hour trip. No train or streetcar watching, however. Here is the prospectus. Remember that the actual tour is subject to change, including projected times):
