Did it as a kid, as well. In fact, it’s been so long that I’ve been up the Monument, I don’t think I’ve ever gone up in the elevator.

My strongest recollection of the climb up the stairs is the old graffiti — an American and Roman obsession, it would seem.

I saw the lightning strike from the golf course at Haines Point.

LOL, we used to skip school, and travel down in our school bus, with the young school bus driver driving, to play a round of golf at Haines Point, and also see The Awakening sculpture:

One day, I was sitting on the bus, with my golf clubs, when the Vice Principal came by and said, how was your round today Bob. I said, terrible as usual, but fun nonetheless.

His reply was; perhaps your golf skills is a sign that you had better quit playing and attend school. I took the not to subtle hint. 😋

I was too busy trying to run up the stairs, after my dad posed the challenge, to notice what was upon the walls I guess. 🙂
