Washington Walkabout

  
My wife and I spent a long weekend in Washington DC. We were there to visit our daughters, see one of them run a 10 mile race, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the annual Cherry Blossom festival. I'm guessing between Arlington, Washington proper and Georgetown...and back, we walked in the neighborhood of 15 miles over two days.

It was nice to be company for a change. Here are a few pics from our walkabout.

With 15,000+ runners ( plus their families ), they needed a few of these.

A view of the Jefferson Memorial.


The man and his words.

No words can suffice.
