Just a Few New Places In D.C.

Tonight after Larry was done with work we hit some big sights in D.C. We live here! I can't get over it. We walked around the mall as usual we like going there often. We went and walked around the Washington Monument and let me tell you a secret. Soft Ball leages are huge here and the lawn around this monument is vast and in the evening is filled with tons of softball teams playing. Funny right? You have to be careful as you walk around because you could get hit by a ball. Its not little kids playing either its adults like local firms and jobs have these teams, I found it pretty funny because how cool is it to play your games on the national mall.

Anyways we walked around the tall monument and then made our way down onto the beautiful World War II monument. I think it is my favorite. It is newer and dedicated by president Bush {#2} and represents both the Pacific and European theater tied together with a beautiful water fountain in the middle. I loved walking around it as the evening cooled off and the lights came on. In the distance farther down you can see the Lincoln memorial which we will go see soon it was getting to late to give it our full attention. It is nice to walk around in the evening because the massive school groups are usually not out. That is our newest enemy haha everywhere we go we sometimes get mobbed by high school students touring the capital. They are nosy and annoying I am embarrassed to think how I must have been at their age! Apparently though we have learned that more mid June is when the school groups stop coming and things become peaceful again around town.
