We like to imagine that right about now, the All Blacks, having played the USA Eagles in a Saturday night showdown at Washington DC's FedExField Stadium are gearing up to explore the city's premier sights. We wouldn't say no to joining them.
Monumental makeovers
Only a mad person would visit Washington DC and not pay a visit to the White House, Washington Monument and US Capitol Building. Forrest Gump fans might like to follow in Jenny's footsteps and visit Reflecting Pool (although we advise against wading through it fully dressed) and one minute further you'll find Lincoln Memorial. Built to honour the 16th US president Abraham Lincoln, complete with a 5.8m-tall statue of Abe himself. Current renovations are due for completion prior to the memorial's 2022 centennial. A fantastic reason to visit next year, should the pandemic permit.
