Lincoln Memorial

The last stop on our evening tour was the Lincoln Memorial. Pictures and television do not even come close to showing us its actual size. It is massive.
Mrs. Landry said she would give me a dollar to climb up and sit on Lincoln's lab. So I asked one of my students to give me a boost up. I really wanted that dollar.

The White House

After dinner at Union Station, our tour bus dropped us off on Massachusetts Ave and we walked to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. We were able to see the White House through a fence. The Secret Service was called out to calm us down. We were all jumping for joy, however we jumped too close to the fence. Washington, DC can not handle all the "Southern style" enthusiasm. I guess!

The Monuments

During our walking tour we were able to view the WWII, FDR, and the Martin L. King Jr. memorials. It was interesting to see that all the memorials had a water element. The WWII and FDR memorials had waterfalls. While MLK jr. looked out towards the Lincoln memorial across a body of water.

Our Tour Guide

Our group was taken on a walking tour of several monuments. Some of the chaperones on Bus 1 nick named our tour guide "Mary Poppins". She
summoned us with a flowered umbrella. It was something to see every rushing toward a little lady holding up a flower covered umbrella.

Guided tour

After lunch on Thursday, we had a guided tour of Historic DC. We drove down Embassy Row. The National Cathedral was a breath taking sight. It was damaged during the earthquake and is being repaired. Mrs. Landry said, She would like to get married there. I hope she meant "remarried" to Mr. Landry. ;)
Which Embassy is currently unoccupied? Why?
