The Charlotte 500, Lap 29 - 34: Washington - The President's Front Yard

Okay, this might really be cheating, but I'm going to count each site as one item on my list, because 500 really is a big number. This first set from Washington includes a few of the things you can see right outside (give or take a few hundred yards) the president's front and back doors.
Lap 29: The White House - Maybe, some day, the place will actually have an occupant who understands the concept of freedom.




Lap 30: LaFayette Square - Even the birds enjoy a nice rest in the park across from the White House.


Lap 31: Starbucks - Just west of the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue, this was the only place open on a holiday weekend to warm up with some coffee and use the rest room.










Lap 32: The national Christmas Tree - The train was kinda cool, but the tree was just big and boring (in my opinion, but Christmas trees really aren't my thing).


Lap 33: I don't remember what this is, but it's an impressive building right next to the White House.









Lap 34: The Blair House - Across the street from the White House, the Blair House is significant for several reasons, which you might be able to read on the pictured tablets.
