Me at the Lincoln memorial he, he, he!

The vacation is almost over and our last outing is to Washington to visit the WWII memorial on which my cousin had included the name of my father. I was excited to see his name engraved as one of the people who gave us our freedom. Unfortunately, anyone who knows me realizes history is not one of my fortes. Jude, on the other hand, is educationally well rounded and knowledgeable, a world traveler. Why are we friends? I bring her back to reality is my reasoning. However, my first question upon arriving at the Washington mall put even our lifelong friendship over the edge. I saw this big, straight, pointy white structure in the middle of the mall and asked Jude "What is that?" Her reply, "I can't believe we are friends!"

It got better after that? I am sure everyone else but me knows that Washington DC has a lot of museums. And most of them are free. It is a beautiful place to visit and has something for everyone. For me the exhibit on FOOD through the ages called. I have been personally effected by Michelle Obama's  new food incentive on childhood obesity. I found the exhibit very enlighten and humbling, Realizing that champions of all causes keep us focused on change, which is a difficult concept for most to embrace.
