Now, I'll post a few photos from the Washington DC portion of our trip.
This picture shows part of the WWII Memorial. I included this photo because on the day we were there, some organization had bussed in several busloads of WWII vets and family members. What a privilege to get to see those folks who had served at that time view the Memorial and be able to say thank you to a few of them.

And the White House! Alas, we weren't invited in for coffee.
And here is a very somber view of a portion of the Vietnam Memorial wall. All of the wall could not be encompassed in the photo. The names of the casualties cover the segments of the wall and go on and on and on... Very, very sobering - the high cost of war.
While we were gone, my good friend Linda of http://lindaquilts-too.blogspot.com/ gave me a "Liebster Blog" award. Thank you, Linda, I am honored. I love following your blog and reading about you, your family and all those lovely quilting projects you create.
And now I'm off to sew down some binding on my bunny quilt. Hopefully by tomorrow or the next day I can get a photo of it to share. It turned out pretty darn cute if I do say so myself.
You are right that home is always best! Glad you had such a nice trip. The Vietnam wall is sobbering indeed, especially for our generation.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're home and I can only imagine all the wonderful sites you all went to. One of my granddaughters (and a bus load of Seniors) were out there around the same time. I know Beth certainly enjoyed it all.
