Thomas Jefferson memorial

There are lots of places in Washington D.C. but the few places I would like to mention here are as follows

Thomas Jefferson memorial-The simple yet elegant Thomas Jefferson Memorial recognizes both the life and words of a man ingrained in the values of the nation founded through the Revolutionary War. Reminiscent of his beloved home at Monticello, the structure is held up by neo-classic columns holding up a domed roof and fronted with a simple portico. Inside a simple 19-foot statue of the Nation's third President stands in the middle, while surrounding him are the open columns. Inside you can find some of Jefferson's most inspirational words etched into the sides, most famously from the Declaration of Independence that he authored in 1776. One of the best views of the city can be found here during the spring blossom of the cherry trees next to the Potomac and across the Tidal Basin where the White House and the Washington Monument are directly in line with the Jefferson Monument. For lodging select only cheap hotels in the city. As they offer great discount to the tourists at cheap prices.

National museum of the American Indian-The deep history of the United States is preceded by the histories of the hundreds of tribal nations of America's Native peoples. A long history and cultural tradition of Native peoples is preserved at the National Museum of the American Indian. The museum was created in 1989 through an Act of Congress, which culminated in the opening of three centers around the east coast: one in New York City, a research facility in Suitland, Maryland, and the museum on the National Mall in Washington DC. This museum located on the Mall is designed to reflect some of the native architecture of the Southwest and the naturalistic influences of the sandstone. Inside the museum you'll find both permanent and temporary exhibits containing various artifacts, art, and other remnants of American Indian culture. Inside, circular exhibits are a prevalent fixture to the aesthetic feel of the museum in which the three permanent exhibit themes of Our Universes, Our Peoples, and Our Lives are presented. Not only is the museum concerned with the preservation and understanding of American Indian culture, but also a contemporary look at where we are today and research goes into the core values of the museum.

Constitution gardens-Located in the heart of DC, Constitution Gardens is a great place to take an afternoon stroll or early morning jog. The 52-acre park was once under the Potomac River, but today is high and dry, and is a great place to rest and people watch while visiting the Mall and Memorials. An island in the middle of the lake has stones that hold the names of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

For staying in Washington D.C. I select a hotel which was among the cheap hotels in Washington D.C.. This hotel was very cheap and it was offering very large amount of discount at cheap prices. The hotel was very clean and very much decorated. There was a pleasing environment all over. The name of the hotel was Marriott Washington D.C.. This hotel offers very nice services to the visitors which pamper them. The cheap price of the hotel attracts tourists from all over the world.
