The National Mall, Washington DC
America! America!
The National Mall on Boxing Day was briskly cold but stunning - with the State Capital at our backs, we stood beneath the Washington Memorial, gazed across at the White House as the sun set and marvelled at the galleries - from the outside!
We rode on an old-school carousel and warmed our hands on super-sweet hot chocolate.
The best tourist destination so far and we're kind of local, if you ignore the appalling traffic and the endless Route 95.
