Oh, I haven't heard about that plane crash accident, it is so sad. Well, I don't read or listen to the news so that's why I haven't. (maybe I should indeed take the pilot training after reading this... 😅)
Even though you did not planned a touristic trip, you probably got the see the most important spots around the White House and Lincoln Memorial :)
It was a whirlwind visit for a day only, I'd like to go back again sometime and visit it properly
