    WOW! What a wonderful trip you had. Im hope you had fun. Who wouldn't?! On a trip like that. I love Washington except for "The Mall" part. It always makes me upset and teary eyed. Either way, I enjoyed those pictures. Especially the Pandas whom I saw. But I never got to see the Baby. I saw the Declaration a LONNNNNNG time ago. We also went into the White house on a tour and to the place where they make the money. It was so much fun!

    Great pictures. Thanks for sharing them!

    I went to DC for the first time 2 years ago last week end. We had a lot planned to do but it was cut short because my mother passed away while we were there. Your pictures kind of help to put an ending to my trip cut short. Can you believe I went to DC and didn't even see the White House?

    We did get to see the WWII Memorial. It was a few weeks before the official dedication but it was complete. We visited it just hours after learning about Mom. It was very emotional because my Mom was so excited about me getting to see it and just the night before when I talked to her on the phone she told me to see it for her since she lived through that war. Sometime during that night she died. We couldn't get our flights changed to go home until the next day so we continued on with our sight seeing and you can bet the WWII Memorial was a priority.

    Again, thanks for sharing the pictures.

    From Decker with Love

    Great pics.

    I never knew about the Vietnam Memorial - with all the soldier statues..... that is amazing.

    Thanks so much for sharing. I am only sorry I never got to Washington when my friends were living there.

    Thanks again.

    I'll bet you were all exhausted after that visit! Your pictures are great, but isn't it typical that the fog only cleared after you were back down to ground level. That always seems to be the way it goes.

    What did Samantha think of Fala???

    Those are some great pictures. I, too, didn't know about all the soldier statues. Very moving, even in photographic form. Thanks for sharing.

    What did Samantha do while you were gone?

    Glad you had a good time. Did you like the Museum of Natural History? I think that one is my favorite.

    (I think we may take Aidan to DC for his first visit sometime this summer. It's only an hour away from us.)
