Jody's Trip to Washington D.C.

This past weekend, Jody Zimmer, our student intern from Oregon, ventured up to Washington D.C. to visit the mall and take in the sites. This was his first time visiting the Capital of the United States and was impressed by all the amazing architecture in the D.C. area. Here are a few of the pictures he brought back with him.

In 2007 the American Institute of Architects came out with a list of "America's Favorite Architecture", and six of the top 10 were located located in the District of Columbia. They were:

1. The White House -

Jody just happened to be there when The President was getting dropped off by Marine 1. Talk about good timing!

2. The Washington National Cathedral -

3. Thomas Jefferson Memorial -

4. United States Capital -

5. The Lincoln Memorial -

6. and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial -

Although this building wasn't found on the top 10 of "America's Favorite Architecture", Jody's favorite building was actually the old Executive Office Building, pictured below.

Apparently there was so much to see in the DC area that Jody has already began making plans to visit again. We look forward to the next round of pictures from his future visit.
