Huge Chair Big President

We had a very long walk to go to see the Lincoln Memorial which was up from the Washington Monument.
It was a very tiring to get to the stairs of the Memorial. When we finally got there there was a huge mass of people trying to get pictures with Abraham Lincoln's statue. There were at least 30 stairs leading up to Lincoln. The statue is all white, and is Lincoln sitting in his chair.
To the right of the chair there was one of his speeches engraved in the wall and if you go further right is a very small and narrow book store. It was the size of a bathroom.
There were some great things in the book store like posters, books, Obama's post cards, pens, and other awesome items.
The view from the Memorial is amazing- you see the Reflecting Pool, The Washington Monument, US Capital. It was very pretty and a very nice view and I think I'll remember that view for a long time.
Bye
