When my sister and her family lived in D.C. in 1969, my nephew was 5. We visited them and in touring around D.C. whenever my nephew spied the Washington Monument, he squealed, "The Mon-u-ment! " I can still hear it!

Been to DC twice. The National Mall is wonderful...beautiful memorials and gardens and the museums are all free. Kept missing the cherry blossoms. Maybe we'll try again next year.
I don't rememer seeing all those ducks.
Wishing you happy trips this summer. For you "down under" wishing you a good book and a cozy nook.

Gorgeous view, even with the ducks in the water!!!!!!!!

Awesome puzzle loved it!!!

Very lovely puzzle.

Have a wonderful and safe week end.

Lovely monument which always now reminds me of Forrest Gump my all time favourite movie.

Good night and God bless. Hugs.

I seen that up close in April of 2017 when I went on honor flight. Awesome structure. Saw all the memorials and was awestruck by Arlington cemetery and the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier
