The Answer is...

The Washington Monument in Washington, D.C.

Here are some facts about the monument that you may not have known:

- The total cost for the building of the Washington Monument was $1,817,710.
- It stands 555'5-1/8" tall and weighs in at 90,854 tons.
- Thirty years after the death of the monument's architect, it was finally completed in 1884.

Congratulations to Hester and Amy for having the right answer. Kudos to you. Stay tune for next week's "Where are We?"

Bummer...I missed out on guessing where you guys were. I'll guess next week for sure! I can't believe Tressa had glass up her nose - poor little thing! It hurts to think about...I can't imagine how painful it really was. Glad she's ok!
