Our Trip to Washington, D.C.
|
|
Shorly after we
arrived on the Capitol steps a plane flew into restricted airspace and we had to evacuate the area in a hurried manor. Chuck was a hero when he helped a large, sweaty woman over a retaining wall during the evacuation. This ended our attempt to enter the Capitol Building. |
|
The weather was perfect with the
Cherry Blossoms in full bloom! |
|
Of course, we had to do the old
cliche' of a photograph of us holding the Washington Monument. |
|
And, again...
|
|
And, again...
|
|
And, again.
|
|
Behind Rachel is the mall with the
Smithsonian then the Washington Monument then the Lincoln Memorial. A big walk and a lot to see ahead. |
|
Here we are now on
the other side of the monument--opposite of the photo above. |
|
A nice photo of Chuck in front of the
Monument on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Too bad his eyes were closed in the photo. |
|
WWII Monument
--Paige; proud of
our adopted state's pillar. Ethan appears worried that Daddy is carrying a Man Purse. |
|
Honest Abe.
|
|
The White House. Home to the most
powerful man (or woman) in the world. Barrack Obama had been President for only a few months at this point. |
|
Typical tourists!!!
