I Touched a National Monument!

When I was in DC, I saw a lot of interesting and historic things. One of them being the Washington monument. I touched it! Did you know, it is 2 different colors? About 1 quarter of it is white, the rest is a sandy color. I never knew! I was so excited about seeing it because, well, I love writing and it looked liked a giant pencil. But I have to admit it wasn't the best thing in DC. It looked better far away. Either way, I liked it.
