National Mall and Twilight Tattoo

 We were running out of time so we had to narrow down what we wanted to see.  Mom had wanted to see Williamsburg but when we discovered it was another 3 and half hour drive (best case) she passed on another road trip.  They had learned that just running errands in the DC area can turn into a road trip!  They had been to DC many years ago and we had done several drive throughs of town so we decided to go to the places they hadn't been.



                                                         World War II Monument


                                                     All those gold stars along the wall........


                                                       Vietnam Memorial


                                  You can't be that close and not stop at the Lincoln!
 Dad making friends with critters........
 That night we met Tom at Fort Myer for the Twilight Tattoo.  We lucked out and got great seats!


                              We brought goodies and were surrounded by darling 4H clubs








 Tom still wants to build a house right here so we can have this view.  The show was good and it was the perfect way to wrap up mom and dad's two week visit in DC.  Took them to BWI the next morning to fly home.  So glad they came to stay.  We had a blast!
