DC Trip

Our plans for this week have changed a little bit so we took a trip in to DC today after church and dinner to see a few more sights we wanted to see with Grandma and Grandpa before they fly home this week.



B was with us, and my parents have a handicap parking pass (three knee surgeries between them) so we drove in and parked near the Lincoln Memorial, sort of. We started with B requesting that I take his picture giving the Federal Reserve Building two thumbs down and and stuck out tongue. Then we went to the Signers of the Declaration of Independence Memorial. Princess Sparkley and Buddy requested pictures of the signatures of Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock and John Adams.* We got lots of pretty Washington Monument pictures (some repetitive because B had the camera and then I took some pictures, not realizing that we were taking the same pictures).

Then we headed to the World War II Memorial which is new since my parents' last trip to DC (Mom in 1993, Dad more recently on a business trip, but still several years ago).


Next we walked around the Tidal Basin to the Jefferson Memorial. You can see in some of the pictures that it has cranes and such all around it. It's been under construction (at least since the Cherry Blossom Festival) because the sea wall for the Tidal Basin was sinking and needing repair. And the sun was setting, meaning no more decent pictures from my camera tonight.



*I forgot to include John Adams's in the collage, sorry.
