Washington D.C 2009

In August 2009 we decided to fly to our vacation destination because we were short on time.  It was my first time in Washington D.C. and I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about traveling to spend time in a big city.  My apprehension quickly went away as we spent our time riding the Metro and working our way around this amazing place.

All photos for this trip were taken with my Canon Rebel XT and Tamron EF lenses.
