You have to arrive VERY early to the Washington Monument in order to secure tickets to travel to the top. They go on sale at 8:30 and usually sell out by 10! They are first come-first served.

Luckily Knack has a friend who is crazy enough to drive into DC early morning on a Sunday to get the tickets.

 

We got tickets for 1pm and got to the monument at 12:30. You're not allowed to chew gum! Very important.

They send up people in groups of 8. You travel in a good sized elevator which takes 60 seconds to travel 500 feet into the air.

Once you get to the top you see the amazing views.

Definitely worth it!!
