A few weeks ago, my mom asked if I'd be interested in taking a White House tour with her.  I said yes of course but was counting on having to rely on my memory to remember what the inside of the White House looked like (which could have proved difficult since I'm so used to relying on my camera to remember things for me).  However, for one reason or another, cameras were allowed on the tour (much to my surprise) and I was able to snap away throughout the self-guided tour.  Of course the tour was only in designated areas (and it was more like visiting Monticello where everything is roped off, etc) but it was beautiful in all its Christmas decor.

A few weeks back, Evin and I visited DC for the day.  I handed my D80 to him and stuck to shooting film with my Konica.  There is always so much I want to do (I could spend an entire day in each and every Smithsonian museum) and never enough time to do it.  Anyway, there are a few random shots I took walking from place to place that I'd like to share.
