March 23, 2006 - Laurel, Maryland

What a day! We left early this morning and arrived in Washington DC about noon or so. What a place! We were so lucky to find a parking place near the White House. Here is a picture of the White House. We then made our way over by the Washington Monument and walked down past the War Memorials and ended up on the steps in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
What a view from there as you can see. Here is the Washington Monument, it is a massive structure and see the reflection of it in the reflection pool in the foreground, pretty neat hey?
We then made our way over to the Korena War Memorial...I wanted to take some photos of that because my Dad is a Korean War Vet and thought he would be interested in seeing it...Darlene took some wonderful pictures today. It was ideal conditions for pictures with the sun shining and not too cool. The joggers were in shorts. It was definately worth the trip in off the highway. We are settled in a hotel in Laurel, Maryland, about half way between Washington DC and Baltimore. We are heading for the Big Apple tomorrow....NYC here we come!!!!!
