Sunny, warm day! After exercising and breakfast, we took the bikes and rode and rode - DC has great bike paths. Here are some sights along the way....
The Jefferson Memorial
Large tribute to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor
statues, waterfalls and numerous quotes from FDR
The Lincoln Memorial
Honest Abe
Reflecting pool between Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument
Rode past many many cherry trees now with leaves all dried and falling.
On my Bucket List to come here some spring and see the Cherry Blossoms!
Large cranes are working near Catrina in marina in preparation for the new docks and all the demolition and building for the Wharf.
Did some laundry this afternoon and then had a wonderful dinner at Jenny's Asian Fusion which is on top of the Capital Yacht Club. Been awhile since we've had good Chinese - really hit the spot!
Two other tidbits from our visit to Mount Vernon...
1. Back in the day, the "necessary" was the word to describe outhouse, privy, etc.....makes sense!
2. We saw several trees still standing that were planted back in the late 1700's on the grounds.
Tall and mighty!
