If you are looking to visit different types of gardens around the globe all in one spot, this is the place to visit! I loved viewing the types of plants that thrive in the jungle, rain forests and deserts. I enjoyed how each plant was labeled. This is so helpful if you wish to do further research on a specific type of species. They also have a whole section of medicinal plants with information about how to use them. I learned so much visiting the United States Botanic Garden, and hope to visit again sometime soon.

During my trip, I was also able to see The White House, The United States Capital and The Washington Monument. It was incredible to be able to view all these famous historical sights in person. I visited some memorials including The Lincoln Memorial, The World War II Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial and The Korean War Veterans Memorial. I had so much fun spending a day exploring The Smithsonian Natural History Museum that included The Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Zoo. Another day was spent enjoying the sights at The Smithsonian's National Zoo. Feel free to click through the photo gallery below to view more photographs from my vacation.
