The Visit

Mom and Dad arrived on Sunday for their visit this week. We took them to Ichiban for dinner on Sunday...it's the kids' favorite restaurant. Because it was Mom's birthday, they gave a piece of cheesecake and took a picture.



On Tuesday, Mike took the day off and we all went into DC to look around. We visited the FDR Memorial (I didn't even know this existed!), the World War II Memorial, The Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the Korean War Memorial. We were able to see (but not up close) the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial. Some of the cherry blossoms were still out but most were gone by now. It was a long day of walking!

The Jefferson Memorial (this was as close as we got to this one!)

FDR and us!

Abraham Lincoln...above him, it says, "In This Temple As In The Hearts Of The People For Whom He Saved The Union The Memory Of Abraham Lincoln Is Enshrined Forever"

What, no Women in the Military Memorial? Sheesh, what kind of sister are you? LOL. Very cool pictures, though.

We didn't go to that one. I don't know if it's right there on the mall or not. :(

I don't know, either.
