Last weekend we went on another touristy trip to historical places. Or monuments to historical stuff, in any case. Actually, it started as a trip to the Natural History Museum, but when the other museum we wanted to visit was closed, we kept walking and ended up touring some monuments instead. Good times.
We had covered in a previous trip the half of the National Mall from the Capitol to the museums. This time we started at the museums and went the rest of the way, stopping to say hello to the Washington Monument, the WWII Memorial, and Mr. Lincoln himself. On our way back to our car (via the Metro... super exciting), we also walked past the White House and a handful of random statues and monuments to random other historical figures.

Matthew was pretty excited... eventually.
Meanwhile, it was 85 degrees out, very sunny, and mid-afternoon. I was a little warm, but at least I had on good walking shoes. :-)
