Lincoln

We finally made it up to the famous Lincoln Memorial.  

Awesome!

I loved the ceiling and pillars.  They were gorgeous!

Huge quotes and speeches etched into the stone walls.   


It was super crowded and a hundred steep, sharp steps just behind us...so I ended up taking the kids down some steps and distracting them. 

We sat and sang songs while Dave had a chance to walk around and take some good pictures.  I think in this picture we are doing a "moo-moo here and a moo-moo there"  :).  
Here's the view from the top of the Lincoln Monument.  Unfortunately the pond was empty and being worked on.  Usually you can see the Washington monument with the Capitol bldg behind it.  It was still a neat site.

Ironically, it seems like the pond was empty and being worked on when I was there in high school, too. But it's still such a neat area!

You are such a good patient mom! Cool to see it empty too, probably full much more than it is empty!
