We spent the afternoon on Sunday, walking the Mall and exploring the memorials. We had beautiful weather and wonderful sites. We walked almost 6 miles (thanks RunningBuddy App) and had so much fun. Its was a great way to enjoy each other. Parker and Jordan were very interested in President Lincoln, since learning about the Civil War the day before and really liked his memorial. Although Parker was upset that he was assassinated while watching a play. They boys also liked the different war memorials, and I think they were surprised how many wars there were. 
I loved the WWII memorial, and we got some great pictures there. My favorite is of my three favorite little people sitting together enjoying the sites! I also love the one of a tiny little Taleah on a huge balcony all alone. This was another place that people were taking pictures of my little model. We saw the new MLK memorial, it was really neat to read all of his amazing quotes.
We saw the George Washington Memorial, but were not able to go in because of the damage from the earthquake a few years ago. Parker was very worried about the tilt at the top, George Washington is still a hero of his from the last visit we had . The boys LOVED rolling down the hills and blowing the dandelions. We also saw the White House and the Capitol Building. The flowers were beautiful and I couldn't resist taking some pictures of Taleah in them. Parker and Jordan were fascinated with all the squirrels, they were very brave...even trying to steal our lunch!
