The Lost Symbol

After reading Dan Brown's new book on the drive east (I had a day and a half in Wyoming during a snow storm, and daytime TV is not that good), I was pretty pumped to be near DC and see some of the buildings he was writing about.

One place that featured prominently was the George Washington National Masonic Memorial located in Alexandria, Virginia. For a "secret" organization they are pretty open about people seeing the building and learning about their history; seeing as how you get to visit 4 of the 9 floors. The garden and symbol at the front were only recently added, but they were easily my favorite part.
