Washington, DC

Hello from DC! We finally made it! Of course today we spent more time getting lost than sightseeing. We spent about a total of 8 hours lost. We ended up in Maryland, downtown DC, and all over. We spent about 45 minutes at the Viet Nam memorial and the Lincoln memorial. Boy! Is that statue ever big! There's even a statue at the Viet Nam memorial recognizing the nurses there. We had planned to come home tomorrow, but now we've decided to try again tomorrow and take the tour tram. They stop at over 40 historic sites, including the White House. Wow! I'm excited now. So since we're old now and can't keep our eyes open forever, we'll drive about halfway home and then stop and rest for the night and come on home Sunday morning. Even though I wasn't in Viet Nam, seeing all those names on the wall and the messages people had left, it moved me to tears. War is such a sensless thing. Especially when it doesn't involve our country. As soon as I get home, I'll download my pictures and post some of them. Just today I made 65. So I'll be posting more about my trip soon. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
