Washington

I remember this from several occasions. Visiting inside when Ann was on a business trip there Talking to friends on the phone outside Seeing the statues of Austin and Houston in the lobby

Looking back through personal photos, I find some from our family trip to DC. The photos convey how extremely large this statue is.

This is one of the places that we visited with Basil and Billie. Visiting the monuments to soldiers wat Basil’s favorite thing. This was surrounded by work fences when we were there though.

I always thought it would be neat to go to the top of this monument. Never got around to it. An interesting fact is that the very top is a small aluminum peak, which was very expensive at the time it was installed, during the Civil War.
