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.

The Jefferson Memorial is located near the Smithsonian Metro Station on the Orange, Silver, and Blue lines of the Metro System. The Smithsonian Station has two exits; make sure to leave the station through "Independence Avenue/12th Street Exit"
From where can you take a picture of someone so that you can see the whole memorial in the background? You're too close when you're actually at the memorial.
