Washington DC

Yesterday Sarah and I jumped on the Metro-Subway and rode the stinky thing into DC. It was a new experience for both of us and we felt very good about ourselves that we were able to get on and off on the right trains and never got lost. This was the day of Memorials! We had a great time seeing everything we could before we pooped out and went home. It was a ton to take in and a lot of walking. It was a ok weather day good for walking around. Plus there weren't too many people there, which was really nice. We had a great day. It was also nice to remember all the lives that have been lost for our freedom. It felt good to be able to show my respect to the many men and women who served and now serving our country.

World War II Memorial.... this was a huge memorial with all the indivual states named on the columns....not sure why. And gold stars at the end of the memorial... again not sure what they stood for.... guess I need to do some research.

It reads.... HERE WE MARK THE PRICE OF FREEDOM. the gold stars behind.

The Vietnam Memorial Wall.... we couldn't help but be speechless while walking by.

The Lincoln Memorial... It was amazing in its grand size.

I was standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial looking behind me to the reflecting pool and the Washington Monument sticking out at the end...if u squint

One of the newest memorial for the Nurses of all our wars...

This was a along side or the Korean War Memorial.... beautiful trees surrounded this wall.

The Korean War Memorial.... This was probably my most favorite memorial...

This is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier... these images are of when they change the guard... sorry they aren't in order. This was what Sarah looked most forward to seeing....

John F Kennedy & Jackie O grave site.... there was a flame lite on top
