After last night's storms, today was a beautiful day right from the start. I headed into D.C. and parked near the west end of The Mall. I was able to spend some contemplative time at all the sites I had wanted to see. I did manage to take quite a few pictures, so I'll just show you what my day was like.
The WWII Memorial is new since I was last here. I wanted to be here to honor "the greatest generation" and their sacrifice for freedom. Here are some of their memorable quotes.
My next stop was also new since my last visit, and it also is very sobering.
M.L.K., Jr.
Mr. Lincoln.
Vietnam Wall -- my generation.
The Korean War Memorial was interesting. It's a platoon of larger-than-life-sized soldiers walking through a field.
I left the city about 2:00 and spent some time at the hotel pool. Then it was a perfect evening for a minor league game between the Bowie Baysox and the Richmond Flying Squirrels, where I had a front row seat. A great way to end a good day.
