Today Jennifer and Jannette had the opportunity to spend the day sightseeing in Washington D.C. - part of it with Charleah, Steven, and his family! The girls took the Metro into the city from Springfield-Franconia thanks to CC and then walked around - a lot!! It had been a few years since Jennifer had been to D.C. and Jannette had never been able to walk around. Such a great day! Beware: lots of pictures, we couldn't narrow them down!

Got to visit the Holocaust Museum

 ... which is across from the USDA building ...

 ... a good reminder from the museum as we were walking away ...

 Oo-rah!!

 World War II Memorial in the Mall

WWII Memorial Wall of Stars

 Lincoln Memorial (Jannette was bummed that she couldn't touch his toe!)

 Washington Monument from the Lincoln Memorial

 Flags from the Korean War Memorial

Jefferson Memorial

Treasury Department

 The White House

The old Post Office building

 Yep - there were 2 people "dancing" down the face of the building - SO cool!

There was even a cellist playing an electric cello for them  on a lower ledge!!
