The video camera, at least for me, isn't the best way to capture a sight-seeing trip like the recent trip to Washington (in fact, in Europe, it only really came in handy on the river tour...the rest is better captured through photographs).
It's good for catching moments (I wish I had taken some video of the Schoolhouse Rock songs) and this is one of them...it's the first day, we're on the way to the Capitol, and have stopped at the Grant Memorial.
