We left the kids at Grandma & Grandpa's and walked around the National Mall. I am so out of shape and have short legs, that I was tired by the time we got to our second stop!

World War II Memorial
The Lincoln Memorial
The Reflection Pool was under construction, so that was a little disappointing!

This was just dedicated Aug. 28, 2011

This is the view I saw 95.8342% of the time because I couldn't keep up with everyone! Ivan, Ben, Camille (center), Jimmy (right):
The Smithsonian
(where we got lunch because we were all starving and cafeteria food isn't very good no matter where you eat it)
The Natural History Museum
McDonald's "food truck" (Yeah, def NOT part of the Nat'l Mall, but I am playing tourist, remember)?
Air & Space Museum
The Capitol Building
(There's that familiar view again)
Columbus statue and I didn't see what this bell was.. wow, I'm so educated. I don't care, I was SUPER tired of walking! Camille mapped it out and it was about 7 miles. I am OUT of shape!
