more on the road...
more from our time here in DC....we headed out
to do all the tourist stuff on tuesday. it was really a great experience for us
both especially since we had never seen any of the monuments or memorials here.
it really helps history to come alive seeing all of this....which ironically
made us both realize how little information we actually retained from our
schooling.
the morning started with a very imposing grace....
then we headed off to the lincoln memorial...which was HUGE! from pictures i had seen i always thought it was like life size....but man oh man, it's HUGE!!!
where grace had a very uninterested reaction to the gettysburg address that was carved on the wall...
back out front....we saw real amish people!!! who looked very happy to see me pointing my camera at them by the way :)
then it was off to the korean war memorial, which was amazing. one of the things i found really moving at the memorials was that they all in one way or another actually reflected yourself on top of the many names of fallen soldiers.
a hop skip and a jump over to the vietnam memorial which was very awe inspiring. for those of you that haven't been there, it is basically just an enormous black wall with all the names of the fallen soldiers engraved on it. it really puts into perspective the reality of the huge numbers you learned in school.
to put it into perspective, this lady was holding a book with all the names that were on the wall...over 700 pages...2 columns per page...size 10 font...on and on....
a nice view of the washington monument while walking to the jefferson monument....
we also had a great time with our awesome photo friend from san diego, sara france, who also happened to be in town for a job. so we hooked up and walked around all the monuments together...grace took and instant liking to her :)
and to top it all off...a couple videos from the day!
first up, grace chasing ducks....she did this for about a half hour and never caught one :)
secondly...my little prank on jaclyn...say cheese!
