  • Visiting inside when Ann was on a business trip there
  • Talking to friends on the phone outside
  • Seeing the statues of Austin and Houston in the lobby

Visiting the monuments to soldiers wat Basil’s favorite thing. This was surrounded by work fences when we were there though.

]]> Washington Monument https://jesseaallen.com/washington-monument/ Mon, 06 Sep 2021 18:56:04 +0000 https://jesseaallen.com/?p=773 I always thought it would be neat to go to the top of this monument. Never got around to it.

An interesting fact is that the very top is a small aluminum peak, which was very expensive at the time it was installed, during the Civil War.
