Washington

Heidi's family came down last week so we did a little sight seeing. Two of our destinations were Mt. Vernon and The national mall. Mt. Vernon of course is the home estate of our first President George Washington and the National mall is the area of Down town Washington DC were all of the museums and monuments are located. I got one good shot of the Potomac river taken from the path next to the original tomb of our former president. They later moved his body to a different more secure location on the grounds. Washington ran a rather elaborate fishery operation on the Potomac River which was said to bring in about one million herring and shad each year. I also took a few good shots of the fountains in the center of the World War II memorial. We went there at night so we could see all of the city in lights.
