Monument Tour - Nest of Posies

Our trip to DC, part II.

I have always said this, and I always will…sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial is in my top 5 favorites places I have been. For me, it is an unexplainable feeling of emotion and reverence that you rarely find these days.

My parents, especially my Dad has taught me to love, honor, & respect this country and the men & women who have fought for our freedom. I am so lucky to be an American. It’s the history of these places and stories that has renewed my feeling of gratitude.

Graham playing on the lawn in front of the Lincoln Memorial. I love this picture of him. So true to life.

The WWII Memorial. This is taken in the WWII Memorial area looking at the Lincoln Memorial. This was my first time to see the WWII Memorial completely finished. It is huge. You cannot capture the entire memorial in one photograph. Well, at least with my point & shoot camera.

Loved the following two quotes about Mother’s and their sacrifice in WWII. It was a lovely surprise to see & read them both.

Just keeping things real here, *you know he was itching to jump in the water!* It was all we could do, say, and hold to keep him from it.

Taking a break. We walked so much this day. 10+ miles, I think is an understatement. But that’s one of the many nice things about the National Mall. Everything is free and there is plenty of benches for sitting & reminiscing, plenty of grass to play, run, and be FREE. Thanks to our soldiers from years past, present, and future years to come.
