I enjoyed this post so much, Aqua! Having lived in DC for six years while my dad was stationed at the Pentagon, I once knew the city like the back of my hand. Whenever friends and relatives would visit we would do the "monument tour" again. But I did not know any of this information about the Washington Monument.
There have been new monuments added since I was last there and jkphoto and I are looking forward to spending a few days of our vacation there this summer. It's been over 35 years since I've been back to DC.
Thank you, sistah, for this very interesting post today. May God bless and guide America and those charged with keeping her safe and free!
Good morning, all. Have a wonderful day across the fruited plain!
Hope you have a wonderful trip there this summer.
psssst...take lots of pictures. :)
