8 April 2022 Washington DC A walk along the mall

 


 We took a ride over to the Lincoln memorial. We saw Lincoln and said hi.  The Washington monument looked great from the steps of the memorial.   From there we strolled along the Korean War memorial, the Martin Luther King memorial, the cherry trees along the tidal basin, the World War II memorial and then made our way to the White House.


A rare moment when we were alone in front of the memorial

Yesterday's rain knocked down lots of the blooms


Cherry Blossom time


We got to talk to a park ranger who was quite knowledgeable about this fine piece of sculpture

Feel the breeze on the trees


Climbing up for a better shot


Getting the better shot


So serious
