Golfer and I took an evening tour while in D.C. The driver, Buckeye, was from Ohio and he was great! As many times as we have been to D.C. we still learned new things. Among those is the fact that the monuments are open at night! Buckeye picked up another passenger at another hotel and then picked us up at the Embassy Suites where we were staying. From there we had a private tour on the way to Union Station where we picked up the rest of the tour people. We made three stops where we could get off the bus and visit monuments.
It was a lovely evening and the moon was bright. It was a little windy on the open air bus, but still comfortable. We would recommend you try the tour if you are in the D.C. area.
Here are some highlights.

Stay safe!
