Day 4 Wash. Sem. Jefferson Memorial, Holocaust Museum and the Old Post Office

Day four is also the first day of the national cherry blossom festival. The Cherry blossoms of the tidal basin near the Jefferson memorial kisses the granite monuments of Washington D.C. Cherry blossoms tend to live about fifty years, but some have already survived for one hundred years. Even though this year is the one hundredth year since Japan gave us the cherry blossoms, one hundred original cherry blossoms still exist. The Jefferson memorial and the cherry blossoms combined with the smooth water of the tidal basin makes the view scenic. I have been to many places including the Canadian rockies. The Canadian Rockies will be the most beautiful place I ever been to , but the cherry blossoms in D.C. makes my top ten list of beautiful places. This place is worth the money and effort. Even though I had been to the Holocaust museum twice, the museum's provocative layout still captivate me. The museum's lugurious environment elicits visitors' deepest subconcious desires. By grabbing our attention through attention grabbing, the museum should have persuaded some people that the holocaust did occur and another genocide must be prevented. I say this because a republican running for public office openly denounced the holocaust. He said that the holocaust did not exist. The Old Post Office is a great historic site, but the food is very plain. There's not much interesting food that entice you to eat it. The Old Post Office can only be said as a place of relaxation. The Criminal Museum has a similar layout compared with the Holocaust museum; however, it did not grab my attention. The presentation of the information was not interesting. All the information can be found with the internet; therefore, most people should put this at the bottom of their lists.
