We (along with Shane's parents) were able to spend some time in May 2002 with Scott & Keri & their family while Scott was attending dental school in Maryland. We did some touring of Baltimore and Washington D.C. while we were there. Here is a glimpse of what we were able to see. There is so much to see and do in Washington D.C. We would love to go back someday. Thanks again for a fun time Scott & Keri. (Even if while following Scott he led us into the ghetto of Washington D.C. where we were fearful for our lives) :-)
Pre-kids...we looked so young. Kids will really age you huh?
Inner Harbor in Baltimore
Washington D.C.
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
(Note the sniper on the roof)
Cool to see the White House in person. Surprising to me that it was
right in the middle of the city. Go a few blocks and you are in the ghetto.
Air & Space Museum...spent a lot of time there. Wonder why?
Scott & Shane in the Flight Simulator @ the Air & Space Museum.
Iwo Jima Monument
Changing of the guards...very cool. Read some interesting facts
here.
Tomb of The Unknown Soldier.
Reagan National Airport, along the Potomac River.
We were lucky enough to see Arlington Cemetary over the Memorial Weekend, when they put a flag on every grave. Amazing.
Arlington Cemetary. Sea of headstones.
Fort McHenry
Our favorite stop of the trip. Location where Francis Scott Key wrote the words to "The Star Spangled Banner." Since being there, the National Anthem takes on a whole new meaning when I sing it. Hard to tell in the picture but that flag is HUGE!
Vietnam Memorial/Washington Monument
Rubbing of my dad's brother's name from the Vietnam Memorial Wall.
Died Oct. 3, 1968.
He was a newlywed when he died @ the age of 23.
Thankful for his sacrifice.
