Did you know that we were in Washington DC 2 weeks ago? Charley, Kristina, and I left Monday the 5th and then came home on Saturday the 10th and it was wonderful! There is so much to write about but I will just give you the highlights and our favorites. Probably my favorite part of the trip was going to the Lincoln Memorial. It was amazing!! I just stood there looking up at this massive monument/man and kept thinking, "I can't believe I'm here!"
We also enjoyed Mt. Vernon (George Washington's home) and spent quite a bit of time there.
The Vietnam Memorial was quite sad to be honest. Sooo many names. We went to a book that they had at the end of the memorial and looked up where the "Epps" names were. No relation to us, but it was interesting to find them.
We went to the Capital, the Supreme Court, the Air and Space Museum, the National Archives, the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, the Korean War memorial, the Iwo Jima memorial, WWII memorial, the White House (we didn't go inside), Arlington National Cemetery, etc. Whew! I'm tired just writing them down. We even went to a Washington Nationals game! It was a great trip. We are so blessed to live in a free country.
Instead of having the red, white and blue race (as it is in the Oakland Coliseum), the Nationals have the presidents race where the "presidents" (Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, and Roosevelt) run around the field and you cheer for them. Kind of fun:) The picture to the right is the exact place at the Capital where presidents are inaugurated. Notice Washington Monument in the background.
