We are going to Washington, D.C.
The majestic city of Washington, which is the capital of the United States, does not belong to any state of the country, but is a separate administrative unit called the District of Columbia (DC or just the District of Columbia).
The city was founded in 1791 and named after George Washington, the first US president. Of course, tourists are associated primarily with the famous White House, which is open to visitors. However, this is not the only interesting place in Washington.
In this city of white marble there are many majestic monuments, many museums, beautiful parks and picturesque ponds, as well as entertainment centers, fashionable restaurants and fashionable hotels. Moreover, according to American standards, Washington is a relatively small city, but at the same time it has monumental grandeur, a calm atmosphere and unshakable stability.

Lincoln's Tomb, Springfield Illinois
From the Illinois Channel archives... As the anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln approaches, we take another look at Abraham Lincoln's tomb in Springfield and hear again why it is one of the most visited tourist sites in the nation
Abraham Lincoln's Tomb (2003)
Some people believe that Abraham Lincoln is buried at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. Not so! Here is part of a home video I shot while visiting my kids in Illinois.
Lincoln's Tomb is in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Springfield, Illinois, and is the final resting place of 16th President of the United States Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary Todd Lincoln, and three of their four sons. The monument is owned and administered by the State of Illinois as Lincoln Tomb State Historic Site.
On April 15, 1865, the day President Lincoln died, a group of Springfield citizens formed the National Lincoln Monument Association and spearheaded a drive for funds to construct a memorial or tomb. At the request of Robert Todd Lincoln, the President's only surviving son, the body was moved to its final resting place, a cement vault 10 feet below the surface of the burial room. In 1930-1931 the State reconstructed the interior of the memorial. Rededicated in the latter year by President Hoover, it has undergone little change since that time.
The tomb is in the center of a 12 1/2 acre plot. Constructed of Massachusetts granite, it has a rectangular base surmounted by a 117-foot-high obelisk and a semicircular entrance way. A bronze reproduction of sculptor Gutzon Borglum's head of Lincoln in the U.S. Capitol rests on a pedestal in front of the entrance way. The burial room features black and white marble walls and a ceiling of gold leaf. At its center stands the cenotaph, a 7-ton block of reddish marble inscribed with Lincoln's name and the years he lived. It marks the approximate location of the burial vault. Nine flags are arranged in a semicircle around the cenotaph. Seven of them—the State flags of Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois—commemorate the homes of Lincoln and his ancestors. The eighth and ninth are the Stars and Stripes and the Presidential flag. The inscription Now he belongs to the ages, reputedly spoken by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton at the time of Lincoln's death, is inscribed in the wall above the U.S. Flag.

Abraham Lincoln's Tomb in Springfield, IL
A short tour around the tomb of Abraham Lincoln in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Springfield, IL..
Dedicated in 1874, Lincoln Tomb is the final resting place of Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary, and three of their four sons, Edward, William, and Thomas. The eldest son, Robert T. Lincoln, is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Also on the site is the public receiving vault, constructed ca. 1860, the scene of funeral services for Abraham Lincoln on May 4, 1865. In 1960 the Tomb was designated a National Historic Landmark and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.
The 117-foot Tomb, designed by sculptor Larkin Mead, is constructed of brick sheathed with Quincy granite. The base is 72-foot square with large semi-circular projections on the north and south sides. Double sets of north and south stairs lead to a terrace, above which rises the obelisk. At the corners of the shaft, large pedestals serve as bases for four bronze sculptures, each with a group of figures representing one of the four Civil War services—infantry, artillery, cavalry, and navy. A taller base on the obelisk's south side holds a heroic bronze statue of Lincoln. At the Tomb entrance is a bronze reproduction of Gutzon Borglum's marble head of Lincoln, located in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Interior rooms of the Tomb are finished in a highly polished marble trimmed with bronze. The south entrance opens into a rotunda, where two corridors lead into the burial chamber. The rotunda and corridors contain reduced-scale reproductions of important Lincoln statues as well as plaques with excerpts from Lincoln's Springfield farewell speech, the Gettysburg Address, and his Second Inaugural Address. Lincoln's remains rest in a concrete vault ten feet below the marble floor of the burial chamber. A massive granite cenotaph marking the gravesite is flanked by the Presidential flag and flags of the states in which the Lincoln family resided. Crypts in the chamber's south wall hold the remains of Lincoln's wife and three of their sons.
We stopped off here during our three week tour of Route 66.

The Essential George Washington: Quotes, Essays, The Man, The Myth, The Patriot (1999)
On January 6, 1759, Washington married the wealthy widow Martha Dandridge Custis, then 28 years old. Surviving letters suggest that he may have been in love at the time with Sally Fairfax, the wife of a friend. Nevertheless, George and Martha made a compatible marriage, because Martha was intelligent, gracious, and experienced in managing a planter's estate.[58]
Together the two raised her two children from her previous marriage, John Parke Custis and Martha Parke (Patsy) Custis; later the Washingtons raised two of Mrs. Washington's grandchildren, Eleanor Parke Custis and George Washington Parke Custis. George and Martha never had any children together—his earlier bout with smallpox in 1751 may have made him sterile.[59][60][h] The newlywed couple moved to Mount Vernon, near Alexandria, where he took up the life of a planter and political figure.
Washington's marriage to Martha greatly increased his property holdings and social standing, and made him one of Virginia's wealthiest men. He acquired one-third of the 18,000-acre (73 km2) Custis estate upon his marriage, worth approximately $100,000, and managed the remainder on behalf of Martha's children, for whom he sincerely cared.[61]
In 1754 Lieutenant Governor Dinwiddie had promised land bounties to the soldiers and officers who volunteered to serve during the French and Indian War.[62] After Washington prevailed upon Lord Botetourt, the new governor, he finally fulfilled Dinwiddie's promise in 1769–1770,[62][63] with Washington subsequently receiving title to 23,200 acres (94 km2) where the Kanawha River flows into the Ohio River, in what is now western West Virginia.[64] He also frequently bought additional land in his own name. By 1775 Washington had doubled the size of Mount Vernon to 6,500 acres (26 km2), and had increased its slave population to over 100. As a respected military hero and large landowner, he held local office and was elected to the Virginia provincial legislature, representing Frederick County in the House of Burgesses for seven years, beginning in 1758.
Washington lived an aristocratic lifestyle—fox hunting was a favorite leisure activity.[66][67] He also enjoyed going to dances and parties, in addition to the theater, races, and cockfights. Washington also was known to play cards, backgammon, and billiards.[68] Like most Virginia planters, he imported luxuries and other goods from England and paid for them by exporting his tobacco crop. However, by 1764, conspicuous consumption of luxuries coupled with a poor tobacco market left Washington ₤1800 in debt.[69] Washington began to pull himself out of debt in the mid-1760s by diversifying his previously tobacco-centric business interests into other ventures and paying more attention to his affairs, especially in the form of buying fewer imported luxuries.[70]
In 1766 he started switching Mount Vernon's primary cash crop away from tobacco to wheat, a crop that could be processed and then sold in various forms in the colonies, and further diversified operations to include flour milling, fishing, horse breeding, hog production, spinning, and weaving, and (in the 1790s) erected a distillery for whiskey production which yielded more than 1000 gallons a month.[70][71] After several prior epileptic attacks Patsy Custis died in Washington's arms in 1773. Her early and unexpected death proved to be one of the saddest moments in his life. He intimated his hopes to Martha and others that she had gone to a happier place. Washington cancelled all business activity and for the next three months was not away from Martha for a single night.[72] Patsy's death enabled Washington to pay off his British creditors, since half of her inheritance passed to him.[73][74][75]
A successful planter of tobacco and wheat, Washington was a leader in the social elite in Virginia. From 1768 to 1775, he invited some 2000 guests to his Mount Vernon estate, mostly those he considered people of rank. As for people not of high social status, his advice was to treat them civilly but keep them at a proper distance, for they will grow upon familiarity, in proportion as you sink in authority.[76] In 1769 he became more politically active, presenting the Virginia Assembly with legislation to ban the importation of goods from Great Britain.

Visiting Abraham Lincoln's Tomb Springfield, IL 1-1-18
While passing through the Illinois capitol, L. Michelle and I took a detour to visit Abraham Lincoln's tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery! While the monument was closed, we still got to see from the outside! This concludes our St. Louis vacation videos! Thanks for watching!
First Entrepreneur: How George Washington Built His and the Nation’s Prosperity.
Using George Washington's extensive but often overlooked financial papers, Edward G. Lengel chronicles how this self-educated man built the Mount Vernon estate into a vast multi-layered enterprise; prudently managed meager resources to win the Revolutionary War; and, as President, helped establish the national economy on a solid footing. A book signing follows the program.
How Science Created The Most Legendary Road Trip
The classic road trip. Your molded grandma’s car, your gruffy friends, a trunk filled with camping gear and canned beans, Bruce Springsteen blasting through the speakers… and no idea where you are going. Stop yourself there. It is better to make a plan and when you are at it: why not plan the ultimate, optimized and most legendary road trip ever to take place?
Randy Olson is a PhD student at Michigan State University, and some time ago - after being snowed in - Randy decided to design an algorithm that effectively solves the braincracker Where Is Waldo? Not long after that Tracy Staedter, editor of Discovery News, contacted Randy if it would be possible to apply this technology to a potential road trip.
Tracy created a list of the 50 must see stops in the States, and the the rules for the road trip are as follows:
1. The trip must make at least one stop in all 48 states in the contiguous U.S.
2. The trip would only make stops at National Natural Landmarks, National Historic Sites, National Parks, or National Monuments.
3. The trip must be taken by car and never leave the U.S.
Next step: Randy adds all the stops to the genetic algorithms. The genetic algorithm starts with a random itinerary, and then tries a bunch of small, random changes to it - maybe moving the Oregon stop in between the California and Washington stops, for example. Eventually it creates the optimized and fastest route, in the right order, through the USA.
See here the interactive version of the road trip. Curious for the hotspots that Randy and Tracy recommend? Here is the full list:
