Washington, DC

Isn't this what Washington DC is all about? Not bad for having a light drizzle all morning. Took the metro, first time for both of us, to get to this area from the hotel. Loved the metro. No traffic to scare me. As you will see, we took a lot of pictures.

On to the Washington monument. It was taller than I thought it would be. I had to get a picture of RJ in this so you would know that we really were here and not posting generic pictures. This is for you Dennis. It was too wet to take you picture with us.

Here is the reflection pool from the base of the Lincoln memorial in the rain.

We finally made it to the Lincoln memorial. Everything is bigger than I thought they would be. Quite impressive.

By now we were starting to get tired and had to rest whenever we found a spot. Must be a sign of getting older, but not old. This is RJ reflecting thoughts from the Jefferson Memorial. It was being worked on.

We made it to the Smithsonian to find out the there were more than one kind. We choose the Natural History. It was the one with the animals. LOVED IT. I am sure that we did not see all that was there but we saw enough.

This is a sample of the things that we saw there. It was GREAT. We saw all of this by 2:30 in the afternoon. Made it back to the hotel to rest and watch football. We both needed that. Now on to Liberty Bell tomorrow.
