Non Disney Travels

Washington D.C. – Supreme Court & Smithsonian Air/Space Pictures

August 21, 2017 Jason @disneygeek.com Washington D.C.

This week I am spending a few days touring Washington D.C. I know it is not Disney but I thought some may be interested so here are some cell-phone pictures from my trip. To see all of my posts visit my 2017 Washington D.C. Summary Page. This post features my afternoon which started off at the Supreme Court, then circled the U.S. Capitol as I headed for the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum to conclude my sightseeing day.

20170821 130441 — A classic picture of the U.S. Supreme Court as I approached the building.

20170821 133944 1 — The ground floor had movie playing and a small theater that played an overview video then I headed upstairs.

20170821 134047 — The Great Hall on the first floor.

20170821 134042 — The Court Room was closed for annual renovation/cleaning. So we did not get to see it.

After the Supreme Court I walked around the U.S. Capitol Building.

20170821 135123 — The Eclipse was underway and nearing the peak as we walked around. I did not have any glasses or filters so no pictures of it.. instead several of the Capitol as I walked around.

20170821 140015 — The other side of the Capitol.

20170821 140055 — Looking toward the Washington Monument.

Next stop the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I had the absolute worse timing.. arriving right about the peak of the eclipse. So the entrance area was mobbed.

20170821 142734 — Moved up to the second floor to get a better view of the crowd.

20170821 142905 — The Wright Brothers & The Invention of the Aerial Age

20170821 143243 — Apollo to the Moon

20170821 144647 — Military Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)

20170821 145033 — Sea-Air Operations
