First up, we\u2019ve got the beautiful Washington Monument. As you already know, there are hundreds of\u00a0monuments in Washington DC. The Washington Monument is situated on the National Mall (which we will cover more in-depth later) as an honorary nod to America\u2019s first president, George Washington.<\/p>\n
