This was originally posted on Independence Day 2013, but in this tainted year of 2017 it’s more important than ever to recall the sentiments in these images, so I’m pinning this post to the top of my blog. Happy Fourth of July!

In early May I visited Washington DC for the first time. It was a fantastic trip, and though I still haven’t managed to blog on it, I thought I’d post a few photos to celebrate the Fourth of July.
