I was looking through some material online and realised you can order a free official tourist guide. You can find it here.
A photo before I start the day

U.S. Capitol Building
It
was a lovely day out and the people picnicking on the green makes this a pretty
photo.
The Washington Monument and some Christmas Lights
This the view in front of the White House.
The White House from a distance
This is as
close to the white house one can get. It was a terrible experience trying to
get a photo here because it’s a regular pavement and everyone’s trying to get
their photo taken with this monument behind, also there are people who just
want to push through the crowd. Not a good experience. But yea. Hi President.
Walking to the Lincoln Memorial at Sundown
While taking a short 15 minute walk to the Lincoln Memorial from the White House, the sun set suddenly and walking into a dark park, the Lincoln Monument appears atop a large flight of stairs. It was daunting to walk in the dark to the Lincoln Memorial but I was relieved to see many people there too. It says on the web that there are park rangers there but I didn't see any. I guess, just don't walk in the park on your own.
This monument is actually very pretty at night.
I think if we had gone in the daylight, we'd have missed out. Its actually a good idea to go at night! just don't go alone. Its quite quiet at the other end of the park.

There's a nice silence here but it also started to get cold really quickly.
