Just wanted to bring closure to this thread. We took the Circulator Bus from the Washington Monument to the Jefferson Memorial. My family lingered here for about 1/2-hour, reading the inscriptions, taking pictures, and admiring the architecture. We were here about 10:30AM on a weekday, and almost had the place to ourselves. We then walked back to the Circulator bus stop. Overall, including walking and waiting for the bus, it took about an hour but could've been cut-down to much less if necessary.

first, depends on what kind of camera you have, if you have a decent wide angel lens, should have no problem to get whole memorial in, second, you can do is rent a boat, you can get a very nice close shot with whole memorial. Third, you can walk along the lake , maybe 100 feet away towards the roosevelt memorial, you can get a decent shot.
