Description:

Union Station. This is the place which we first saw when we came to DC. We had gotten off of the Metro and when through a maze of escalators and halls under construction. This led us to the cavernous foyer. I made a note to explore further. Also because I wanted to find the Phillip Randolph Memorial which is in the station. But we could never find it,even with being in the station a couple of times.
