D.C. TRIP- PART 67

After the nice people gave us tickets to the Egg Roll, we decided to take advantage of what was left of the evening.  We packed up and headed to the Lincoln Memorial.  We made a few stops on the way.  
The girls struggled to understand the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.  I think it was good for them to see that the men and women who defend our country, are willing to give up their lives for our freedom.

The Lincoln Memorial is perfect for a night visit.  It is beautifully lit.


I loved the way the Washington Monument looked in the reflecting pool at night.
Pyper and Elle were really excited when they found the Idaho column in the WWII Memorial.

This was the end of our Easter Sunday.  We were all sun burned and wipped out- but excited that we were among the lucky families that would be spending the next day on the lawn of the White House.
