After the Smithsonians we were starving again so we got some more food before heading over to check out the monuments.
Jonah's first experience with the
Washington Monument
.JPG)
Sarah and I were jealous when we realized after all the times we've been here we've never actually touched the Washington Monument so Jonah did something that we have yet to do. I was planning on touching it after taking the picture but then I got distracted and forgot.
Next was the WWII Monument...
Then we headed over to the Vietnam Memorial
After that we were hungry again (all that history really takes a toll on your appetite), so we found a place to buy some sandwiches and really good apple juice.
The Lincoln Memorial was after dinner
This was the first time Sarah and I had been to DC without
Heather. We always took a picture of the 3 of us on the big
steps. We were sad she wasn't there.
Last we went to the Korean War Memorial. We didn't spend much time because we had to hurry and get back to our Metro bus or else we would have had a very long walk back to the campsite.
As we were walking the sun was setting over the mall.
We were tired and still had to walk about 11 blocks to the Metro! But we made it in time to catch the Metro and the last bus back to our campground.
Aw! GREAT pictures, Jonah and the WM is funny. Thanks for thinking of me.
ReplyDeleteI hate to sound redundant but again, some really awesome pictures:) It looks like it was a beautiful day, gorgeous clouds & colors. I kept thinking of 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' looking at the Lincoln Memorial. Jimmy Stewart sat on his suitcase right there!;) And, yes I just firmly established that I am a dork.
