USA - Day 53 - Washington DC White House and Capitol Hill

Our last full day in Washington DC, so we walked to the White House, but couldn't get close. We continued on to the eastern side of the National Mall and checked out the Sculpture Garden at the Art Gallery. We stayed to have some lunch at the Pavilion Cafe. We then walked all the way to Capitol Hill, before starting the return journey on the other side of the mall.
