18 April 2026 Washington DC: The Older Folks Day Golf Cart Part 2

 


We kept driving after the Capitol Building and zigged and zagged to the Washington Monument where we stopped again and then to the Jefferson for some more pictures.  We had a blast even though the driver's commentary was a bit too much.  Off to high tea we go!


National Art Museum


Yet another Greek styled building


At the Washington monument


Pushing it hard!


Tom's place


Standing tall


But this statue is not taller than the one atop the Capitol building


A wistful stare


Playing


The license plate has seen better days!


On the bridge over the tidal pond


Over by the pentagon, 


MLK!




30 feet tall but not technically a statue?


Slippery granite


One last look at TJ's place


Now we are at Abe's house


The reflecting pool has been drained for maintenance 


There will be no sliding dorn the bright white area to the left


If Lincoln stood up he would be 28 feet tall


Very moving


Nice beard too


The national guard was everywhere!


MLK stood on this exact spot to deliver his "I have a dream" speach


The elbw marks the spot


A hairless cat on vacation


A bridal party


Mercury is ready to zoom off


A huge flood control susyem


A flaming sword for the WW1 dead


Burned pillars from the 1812 British invasion of DC



 It has been 3 years and 313 days since we began our Migration
