Monuments and Memorials on the National Mall

On July 13, 2013, we went to Washington D.C. to see monuments and memorials. We walked like a milk and a half. The bathrooms there were really nasty.

First we saw the Washington Monument. We looked at it from about 50 feet away because it was under construction. It had scaffolding on it. It didn't look so great.

Next we went to the Lincoln Memorial. There wasn't a lot to see except a statue of Lincoln, the Gettysburg Address on the wall, and a bunch of people.

At the Vietnam Memorial we saw names on a black, shiny wall. We saw somebody get a rubbing of a name. We also saw a statue with three guys in the army.

Also we saw a huge reflecting pool with lots of geese. You know what that means (geese poop). It was so bad, Della was gagging.

The World War Two Memorial had pillars for each state standing in a circle. There was a huge pool in the middle with a couple of fountains. I wanted to stick my feet in, but we didn't because Della said it was too hot, we were tired, and it was time to go home.

Then we went home and sat on our butts all evening to recover from all the walking.
