Vacation Mode, Stage III

We are having very much fun.  We spent some chilly hours seeing the sights last night around the nation's capitol.  Really chilly.  Today we head back to town for some museum sight-seeing.  While at Union Station last night, everyone but me bought scarves.  The new scarves were all wrapped up in bags, until about halfway through the tour.  Then the extra layer came out.  I was sort of wishing I had made the investment..but my hand knitted scarf was keeping that part of me very warm. Another scarf wasn't going to help my hands or toes!

I have seen the Lincoln Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial other times, but only during the day.  They have a different aspect lit up at night.  And I had not ever seen the FDR memorial.  The fountains that are part of that display were not running because of the season, which adds a whole different perspective.  I will want to visit that again.

Just a couple of other notes...I have completed six and a half repeats on the forest canopy shawl, and started my Crazy Aunt Purl book.  Well, sort of.  Eldest Daughter kind of swiped it last night.  I might not get it back this trip.  Oh well. And for every photo Eldest Daughter catches me taking of just stuff, she grabs my camera and takes the same pic with some of us in it!

Enough for a vacation post.

  1. enjoy! I'm embarrassed (at age 65) to admit that I've never been to Our Nation's Capital, and that's downright scandalous for a historygeek such as myself. I guess I never thought of Washington being cold,though....hmmm!
