Lincoln Memorial

Posted June 26th, 2010 by Ed

What a great day in DC. We started off on the Metro Train that dropped us off at the Navy Memorial. We then made our way to the United States Capitol. We were a little upset with the view. They were setting up a tent in front of the Capitol and they had drained the Grant Memorial pool out front. We guess in preparation for the 4th of July.

We left the Capitol and headed for the Washington Monument. Along the way, we stopped at the Air and Space Museum. At the Museum we started talking about the movie “Night at the Museum”. This of course led us to The Natural History Museum. We finally made it to the Washington Monument to find out we could not go up inside it. We took some pictures and headed to the White House. From the White House, we made our way to the World War II National Memorial. Melinda and the kids cooled their feet off in the pool before we went to the Lincoln Memorial. It was strange to see Lincoln’s statue after seeing it in so many movies.

It was about 4:45pm when We decided to go ahead and walk to the Arlington National Cemetery. We made it to the metro in front of the cemetery when exhaustion set in. We headed back to the hotel. Took showers and passes out.

We will visit Arlington National Cemetery.
