Presidents Day

On Presidents Day, we take you to Washington, DC"s National Mall, the downtown park known as "America"s front yard." Here, from the front steps of the Lincoln Memorial, you can see all the way across to the Capitol Building, with the tall, white obelisk of the Washington Monument rising in between.
