Starbucks You Are Here Collection Mug - Washington, D.C.

My husband and I have been collecting Starbucks You Are Here Collection Mugs which are only released locally. When he was on his business trip in Washington, D.C. last month, he purchased this Starbucks You Are Here Collection Washington, D.C. Mug there. :) This time, he also enjoyed doing sightseeing there and showed me some pictures he took there. I would like to travel there someday and see those with my naked eyes. :) Anyway, I'm going to share this Washington, D.C. mug with you. By the way, according to Wikipedia, Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as "Washington", "the District", or simply "D.C.", is the capital of the United States.

This iconic obelisk is the Washington Monument. According to Washington, D.C., it was built to honor George Washington, the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and the first President of the United States, the Washington Monument was once the tallest building in the world at just over 555 feet. The monument to America’s first president still holds the title of world’s tallest stone structure and obelisk.

There are more than 3,000 cherry blossom trees which were the gift from the city of Tokyo to the city of Washington, D.C. I wrote about it in my previous entries, Cherry Blossom Centennial - USPS Forever Stamps and Gifts of Friendship (Japan Joint Issue) - USPS Forever Stamps.
