pizza and a memorial.

After spending the morning outside at Jones Point Park, we ventured back out in the evening to continue enjoying the cooler weather (wearing pants and sweaters in July!). Our first stop was Del Ray Pizzeria (made more popular recently by a visit from Obama, a fact the restaurant will not let you miss). We tried a thin crust and a deep dish pizza and they were both delicious.

We've been driving past the Air Force Memorial ever since it was built several years ago but have never managed to stop for a visit. The rain stopped by the time we left Del Ray so we made our way to the Air Force Memorial. It was stunning. We were completely surprised by how beautiful the memorial and the views were. The kids loved running around and exploring (although the "keep off the grass" signs were frustrating for Oliver and us). At one point we were the only people there and just enjoyed the quiet setting and the beautiful views (and the grass). I can't wait to go back and see it at night.
