out on the town

In the Lincoln Memorial-- Julie's favorite! It's so pretty here at night. I'm glad to finally get to see it. Reading the words of the Gettysburg address engraved upon the wall made Tuesday even more special. We've come a long way. Didn't realize Lincoln was so far away though. I've seen the Jefferson, the Korean War monument, Vietnam War, and now I'm very cold.

Visited the Holocaust museum earlier. It's just unfathomable to me how so many millions of people could be killed so carelessly, so callously.

There's so much history here. I love it. Makes you stop and remember all the little things that you take for granted every day, like the simple fact that we even live in this country.
