George and Abraham

After living here for 3 1/2 years, I finally made it to the top of the Washington Monument. I haven't had the desire to fight the tourists, but this time of year seemed like my best chance to check it out without too much of a wait. It was a perfect clear day so it made the view from the top worth it. We walked over to the Lincoln Memorial and after climbing up all the stairs by herself (which she was very proud of), Amelia proclaimed "he's a giant" and then promptly tried to sneak under the rope to get a closer look.
