You'll stop at both the east and west side of the Capitol Building and learn a bit about the design and history of where the House and Senate convene. (NOTE: we do not go IN the Capitol)

The Library of Congress sits just behind the Capitol Building. We recommend stopping in during your visit to DC!

In addition to being the home of the most famous documents of the United States, did you know the Archives is home of every letter written by children to our Presidents? Some of them are quite amusing! (NOTE: we will not go into The Archives)

Ride past Freedom Plaza on the way to the White House.

Stop along the Ellipse and see the White House from the south side. Learn a bit about the construction and interesting additions that various presidents have made during their terms of service. (NOTE: We will not go into The White House)

Did you notice that the Monument is two different colors? Your guide will tell you why as well as other interesting facts about the erection of this grand monument.

You'll learn about the significance of the design before having a chance to walk in and experience the emotion of this memorial dedicated in 2004.

Your guide will tell you about the memorial dedicated to the women who served in the Vietnam War.

Stop outside the Wall and hear the story behind the design and the designer before having the chance to walk through the memorial.

If you visit on your own, you may miss the hidden significance built into this memorial dedicated to the "Forgotten War".

Stop outside and hear about DC's newest memorial before walking through the Mountain of Despair to view the Stone of Hope.

Hop off your bike and walk through the four "rooms", each of which represents a term of FDR's service as President. Don't forget to rub Fala's ears for luck!
