Lincoln Memorial Visit

Last week we drove in to town. It had been a while since the last snowstorm. We felt quite trapped in the house for a few days so it was a breath of fresh air to finally get out of it. We took our usual route down the GW Parkway and over the Arlington Memorial Bridge. This time we parked on the Potomac River side, then walked over the couple of blocks. The last time we were at the memorial was in November to visit with friends from the Midwest who were there for an honor flight. It was a really nice opportunity to see people we knew after two years of zoom calls. This day was sunny and cold. There were a few visitors. I love the view from the memorial looking east towards the Washington monument and the Capitol beyond. We walked a bit by the reflecting pool then got back to the car to drive down to the Capitol where we happened upon the Harry Reid service. We always like to spend time in the city. After all, we lived there for thirteen years and it’s close enough to visit just about any time we want.
