Abe in the morning light |
OK..here in Washington DC. Trying to relax and play a bit before heading out. I remember being here in grade school but we saw only a few things compared to the vast amount of museums and monuments to explore!

NOT the leaning tower FYI |
We, my good friend Sharon from North Carolina and I, managed the following in the last few days: A White House Tour, a tour of the National Shrine, Driving tour of the Cathedral, China Town, Natural History Museum, Museum of the American Indian, a pedi cab tour of downtown (highly recommended as these guys are very entertaining!), a Kennedy Center play (Sheer Madness...very funny). I was able to visit with my cousin Mary Lynn who is like a sister to me.
I did a running tour of most of the monuments yesterday AM which helped burn off excess anxiety about leaving. I found myself snapping pictures of the inspiring words of our forefathers and leaders. We are so blessed to live in this country and I have no doubt my life is meant to transfer this gift to others.

We must all remember this |
(We were given an education on how to take pictures while at CMMB....I seemed to have already forgotten the rules)
