Senior Portrait Road Trip, Day Four: Washington D.C.

Day Four was an interesting day. Neither Lajunta or I have ever been to Washington D.C, so this was a day of adventure for all of us.

 

 Breakfast a Panera Bread.

 Our first stop of the day was Arlington National Cemetery.

 Photo above and below is at the grave of President John F. Kennedy.

 View of the Washington Monument, from near the President Kennedy grave site.

 Not a posed photo. Chelsea and Kimberlie seemed to be taking time out to sit and think about the magnitude this great American shrine.

 Changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

 Thought this was nice architecture, near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

 Lunch time at the Corner Bakery, National Press.

A Filene's Basement. Time for the girls to shop, and Larry to rest on a park bench for awhile.

 The White House. Didn't look like anyone was home.

 Kimberlie heading towards the Lincoln Memorial, with her accessory bag.

 Delisa brought a roll of Lincoln pennies and spelled out "2011" for this photo.

 At the front of the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument behind. Kimberlie did great, in spite of the fact that it was an incredibly hot day!

 "We met an old friend of Delisa's for dinner. He works in DC. Was an interesting guy to visit with (he's an avid cyclist!). Both he and Delisa are the children of deaf parents, and tend to talk with their hands a lot".

 The mall still had up their 4th of July decorations. Anyone who knows Lajunta, knows she is very patriotic.

Chelsea and Kimberlie had fun wherever we went, even checking in at hotels. Our bellman's name was Darrell, but they pronounced it "du REL", after a character on Saturday Night Live.
