here in the nation's capital....

Okay, our hotel is actually in Virginia, but we did visit Washington, D.C. yesterday.

This was taken today at the battlefield at Manassas Virginia. Sam and Paul and Grandma and Jonathan and Char and Cam...

Tomorrow....back to the big city for the Memorial Day parade.

More pics when I get to it...because believe me, thousands and thousands of flags on the graves in Arlington National Cemetery...and and and...lots of pics...but I am tired tonight. We walked to our local Target to buy an umbrella to shade the sun tomorrow because it will be broiling hot, not that we'll be complaining...after all, Samuel will be the one in the full uniform marching ten blocks, after being at a ceremony at the Tomb of The Unknown soldier, standing in the heat, perfectly still....(the Target we walked to was a city Target, with escalators. The princesses were impressed.)

Goodnight!

Did you see rolling thunder?

Well, not exactly. We went into the city on Saturday, then on Monday for the Memorial Day parade, so we missed the Rolling Thunder parade on Sunday. We did, however, see them around town. :)
