National Mall

Yesterday night we went out to the mall. We have been there a couple of times, but never had our camera, and never went through the whole thing. Yesterday, despite the humidity we decide to give it a go! We both really love the National Mall and all of the wonderful monuments they have there. Our favorite however, is the Vietnam Wall. There is something really touching and personal about that particular monument. It so simple just a wall with names. But seeing all those thousands of names of people who gave their lives is in the name of freedom is very touching. Every time you walk through the mall you come out with a greater appreciation for this great country, for its history, and for the brave men and women who fight for it. This countries history is so rich and so interesting! We had a great night and are really loving our time here!
