Cruisin' DC in Style

by SHERYLL CROSS

For centuries, people have been going in and out of the nation��s capital for sightseeing, education trips, adventure tours and business meetings. From Lincoln to Jefferson to FDR Memorial and from Smithsonian to the Whitehouse, most people use buses though others prefer to enjoy the scenery by foot. But why settle for those options, why not visit the center of the free world in style? With the best limousine service Washington DC has to offer---this is possible and it��ll certainly make your trip not only enlightening but also memorable.

First stop, Lincoln Memorial. Built in honor of President Abraham Lincoln, this Greek inspired structure contains the seated statue of honest Abe and the inscriptions of two of his well-known speeches: the Second Inaugural Address and the Gettysburg Address. In addition, Martin Luther King graced the same scene when he delivered his ��I Have A Dream�� speech in front of an assembly during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

Next is Jefferson Memorial. This neoclassical edifice holds the words of President Thomas Jefferson, including the Declaration of Independence. With his fascination of Roman Architecture, the memorial was fashioned after the late president��s designs of the Rotunda and Monticello. Furthermore, if you look closely, this particular memorial resembles the Pantheon.

Another notch to your memorial belt is the Franklin D. Roosevelt. A memorial wall with Four Freedoms engrave in it reminds all of what we should fight for---speech, worship, want and fear. All three memorials are open 24 hours. Imagine viewing aw-inspiring sceneries, lighted by the crescent moon and the brilliant stars, rightfully tagged as monuments by moonlight, breathtaking isn��t it?

Moving on, the Smithsonian Institution, established in 1846, contains more than a million artifacts and specimens to increase and diffuse knowledge as stated in the will of James Smithson. Home to 19 museum and several research centers, this institution dedicates its existence to educate the public.

To cap off my list, I give you the Whitehouse. This is where the most powerful man in the country works. From the oval office to the west wing---from the TV to the real thing, be it day or night tour, this will certainly change your point of view of the Whitehouse.

With this entire walk through, I��ll now shift my topic to the option of hiring a luxury sedan service as raised on the first part. Whether you are in town for a corporate function or just spending time visiting the attractions, Washington DC limousine services make events like this a tad more unforgettable. Luxury vehicles are not only used for wedding, prom or homecoming---a special night out of town also fits the bill. And when you start looking for that ideal limousine, remember not to be impulsive. Check the fleet. Make sure that the vehicle specifications match your personal preference. Most limousine companies present other services to further entice prospective clients---from bottles of champagne to expensive audio players, televisions and video players. Canvassing is a good way to shop around and land on a much cheaper price.

Whichever you choose, make sure that it will serve its purpose, which is to drive you through the city in style with utmost service and safety.
