I had the pleasure of visiting Washington, D.C. for the first time in my life from September 18 to September 20 as part of the MomsRising delegation to the We Won’t Wait Summit, which is dedicated to “elevating the voices of women of color, low-income and poor women, immigrant women, and young women to call for a policy agenda that promotes economic security and communities that thrive.”
The trip was incredibly short and the summit was packed full of content so I had very little time to take in the sights, but there was NO way that I could not get some sightseeing in because it’s taken me 45 years to get to the nation’s capital. Thankfully, many of the monuments and memorials located in the National Mall are open 24 hours a day.
The photos I took do not do the experience of seeing these historical treasures at night justice, but I’m sharing the pictures anyway because it really was a remarkable experience.
Washington, D.C.
Have you ever been?
I showed you mine, now show me yours.

What a great cause. So glad you finally made it to DC, it is an amazing city,
Are you kidding! Your photos are fantastic.
Thank you so much. All I had was my iPhone on me, but I had to try and capture some of it.
Sounds like a busy but wonderful reason to be there. Night photography is difficult. You did a fine job.
Thank you. I wish I could have seen more sights, but I was thrilled by the sights I did get to see.
Oh I DO LOVE visiting D.C. I think you did a great job with the night photography!
All I had was my iPhone and it did better than I expected. Still nothing compared to what it actually looked like.
Awesome photos! That is on my bucket list……
Oh, you have to go. I was surprised by how emotional I got while there. It’s living history and I got to touch it.
That sounds really interesting.
Nope, I have never been to DC but I hope to make it there one day. The summit sounds amazing too, what a great cause to be involved in. Lets hope that November 8th does not set all the little progress made right back.
