World War II Memorial

From the World War II Memorial we walked along the reflecting pool towards the Vietnam Memorial. We didn’t walk to it but walked by it. From there we headed up to the Lincoln Memorial. The lake to the north side of the reflecting pool was drained as they were shoveling the sediment out of it. Was funny the ducks were still hanging around the lake looking for the water. At this point we knew Kristine was pregnant so she had to drink a ton of water. We stopped at a little booth and made sure she and little Turkey were kept hydrated.

We walked on to the Lincoln Memorial and I am always shocked at how big he is. Kristine didn’t realize how big he was either. Last time I was here, I had all my luggage with me since I was ‘officially’ on my way to Reagan International for my flight back home. Was nice to enjoy a stroll around DC without the clack clack clack of my luggage behind me; that and not being in a suit.

We walked on to the Korean War Memorial which is a few steps away from the Lincoln Memorial. While we were there, birds were loving to swim in the water. Being bird lovers we had to watch and laugh at the cute birds.

From there we walked on to the tide pool area to view the Cherry Blossom Festival.
