Thomas Jefferson Memorial

"I did it for the exercise. 5.10 miles loop trail on All Trails. I recommend it as a way to explore while getting a strong nple workout. Beautiful scenery but tourist everywhere lol"

"I can prove by the scriptures that slave-holders are worse than the devil, for it is written in St. James, "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you;" but if you undertake to resist the slave-holder, he will hold you the tighter. I knew a man who thought it too cruel to whip his slaves, but he stripped them naked, tied them to a board, (one end of which was on the fence, the other on the ground,) and then drew a cat by her tail down their backs. Of course the claws of the cat sunk deeply into the flesh, for at such a time a cat will resist this retrograde movement to the extent of her strength. Then he would ask the poor slave if it hurt. The reply was, "Oh! pray, master, oh! pray, master, don't.""

"My favorite memorial. It’s a shame that this time and last time I came, it was under renovation. Until next time, Thomas. I do like all the monuments as an American, but this one being on the outskirts it really has a nice touch."

"You can get your dose of exercise by going up the stairs. It’s not too bad. After you reach the top, you’ll see a statue of Thomas Jefferson. He was the third president of the United States, a Founding Father, and primary author of the Declaration of Independence. If you look around at the walls, you’ll see some of his quotes. Admission is free. Definitely less crowded than the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. You’ll get some crowds but it’s not bad. You also get an amazing view when you look out."

"Another one of the architectural wonders of Washington, D.C. It is beautiful. The arches, the dome, everything is perfect. I think it is amazing! It is another memorial in Washington, D.C. that looks great from any angle. I would highly recommend going to see it. You will not be disappointed!"
