I allowed her to take some pictures in Washington D.C. This was her favorite.
Not bad for a seven-year-old.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

She took some better photos than me. I have a difficult time holding the camera straight.

Very nice!
I hope she continues to like the place, despite the weather. DC was built on a swamp, which frequently becomes obvious. But there's a vast amount of history there, and more being made every day. If she's interested in either scenery or history, the place is hard to beat.
Is she still there? If so, you might want to get her a friend, and train her in its safe and effective use. DC isn't known as the Murder Capital of the Country for nothing. With a title like that, they haven't bothered assigning it "Mugging Capital", though it deserves that one too. Discuss with her whether she'd rather be judged by twelve or carried by six.
ON EDIT:
Oops, didn't notice that you said she was only seven years old. Sorry. Obviously you never let her out of your sight. So get the friend for yourself instead, especially for when you're out together in a place like that.

I watched National Treasure for the probably 8th time last evening. Great. Nice shots of DC and Philadelphia. Lots of slips to important facts.Originally Posted by Little-Acorn

We were in DC for two days. Took a short walking tour of the National Mall area, perused the book stores and restaurants in Dupont Circle (was particularly enthused about the Krispy Kreme right outside the metro station), saw the Newseum and the International Spy Museum. All good stuff. It was terribly warm, though.

Please tell me you hit the Smithsonian? At least the Air and Space?

Did I forget the Smithsonian? We spent almost an entire day there. My daughter adored the place.

Whew!! I loved the place as well. I spent two days and could have gone a week in the museums.

Weird experience du jour: When we walked by the front of the White House, there were tons of police and other security. If anyone lingered too long, like to take a picture, they told you to keep moving. And they were very serious about it.
Thus, we have no pictures of the White House.
