US East Coast | Washington D.C Attractions | Thomas Jefferson Memorial

The first and only US tour group itinerary experience. Three days and two nights on the east coast of the United States, starting from Boston. Including Washington D.C, Philadelphia, and New York. Finally, back to Boston! It took more than ten hours of bus ride on the first day to finally arrive at the first attraction in Washington D.C. Thomas Jefferson Memorial.

The well-known attractions in Washington D.C are almost common in TV dramas or movies. It should be familiar to everyone, but not necessarily by name. Will look at it and say I know what that is and where I have seen it. But I don't know what it's called! It's basically this concept and this feeling. I am so visual! I am very excited to visit these attractions, after all, I don't know when I will come again next time. And then again, those places you've seen on TV. It's as unreal as a dream. (Or because I slept in the car for too long XD, so it feels like a dream.)

The Jefferson Memorial is a presidential memorial built in Washington, D.C. between 1939 and 1943 under the sponsorship of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt thought that it was a suitable memorial to the Founding Fathers of the United States and to Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the United States Declaration of Independence and the founder of the Democratic-Republican Party.

The neoclassical building is situated in West Potomac Park on the shore of the Potomac River. It was designed by John Russell Pope and built by Philadelphia contractor John McShain. Construction began in 1939 and was completed in 1943. The bronze statue of Jefferson was added in 1947. Pope made references to the Roman Pantheon whose designer was Apollodorus of Damascus, and to Jefferson's own design for the rotunda at the University of Virginia. The Jefferson Memorial and the White House form one of the main anchor points in the area of the National Mall in D.C. The Washington Monument was intended to be located at the intersection of the White House and the site for the Jefferson Memorial, but soft swampy ground required that it be situated to the east.
