Washington, D.C.

24 Sept 2007 - We have been looking in on my sister, Dot, and nieces Teresa and Alta on our days off so have not done much sightseeing so we treated ourselves to a 3 day trip to Washington. These photos are of the new WWII memorial which is a new addition since our last visit. We have really enjoyed the visit but had forgotten how much walking it takes to be a tourist!!!! Are my feet ever tired! Thank goodness for the Metro, however, as we are able to stay out in Arlington and take the Metro right onto the Mall at the Smithsonian. I can remember when I used to drive right there and manage to find a place to park but I would not want to try that now. We went down on Sunday, first, and then back on Monday and managed to see about 3 things each day. Tomorrow we plan to head back but stop at the new Air & Space Exhibit at Dulles Airport. It has the space to display those huge things the place on the Mall just cannot handle. More photos from that later.
