I think that first picture labeled White House is actually the front of the Treasury Building to the east of the White House.

IMGOPH provides good park-and-see-DC advice: take Metro. However, if you want to park in the city and walk around, go over to the westside of the Lincoln Memorial and park in West Potomac Park near the Jefferson or the FDR Memorials. Everything is accessible and walkable from there.

Unfortunately, most things--museums, Arlington National Cemetery, the U.S. Capitol--close to tourists at 5:00. Still, you should come again soon. And before it gets hot and humid and pestilential. That'll all happen in, oh, about a week! :-)

it's not clear if you're captions are labeling the pictures above or below them, but you have a picture of the treasury building in here that you've labeled "the white house". that might be part of what was confusing for you, you weren't looking at the building you thought you were.

I am so glad that Dad took you to DC. It really stinks that you weren't able to get out and walk around though. You need to make plans to go again while he is working up there. I have lots of suggestions on things to do and see.
I am also glad that you posted the photos on your own. No arm twisting and begging for a post or anything!
