Where and what is the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial?
The National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial is a national memorial dedicated to the tragic events that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001. All 184 lives lost in the attack on the Pentagon are represented by “Memorial Unit” benches. Surrounding the benches are 85 Crape Myrtles (trees that will grow up to 30 feet tall) and the Age Wall, which grows one inch in height per year relative to the ages of the victims.
The memorial is located just outside the Pentagon, which has limited parking, thus the best way to reach the site is to walk from the apartment.

My favorite museum in DC - a smaller museum with small rooms and great art from different artists. Suggest take UBER or Metro.
Founded by Duncan Phillips and Marjorie Acker Phillips in 1921 as the Phillips Memorial Gallery in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Artists represented in the collection are Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Gustave Courbet, El Greco, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Pierre Bonnard, Paul Klee, Arthur Dove, Winslow Homer, James McNeill Whistler, Jacob Lawrence...
*The Phillips Collection is open, but please note that the original Phillips house is currently unavailable due to a thermal upgrade project.
