Drive-thru monument tour with the sisters three

Day 2, we started the day with a dip in the pool. My mom's group had a swim day in the roof top pool in my apartment building. A splashingly good time was had by all moms and babes. Then back down to the apt for lunch and naps. We had decided earlier, since the weather was beautiful, to do a walking tour of the monuments on the National Mall. Little did we know the kids actually create their own schedules, hence the tour beginning at 4:30pm. We took the Metro to the Ntl Mall, which stopped for a long period of time at each stop, leaving us a matter of minutes before the sun went down by the time we actually got to the Mall. This tour was officially the drive by version. We did cram in the Washington Memorial, WWII Mem, a far off view of the Jefferson Mem, reflection pool, far off view of Korean Mem, and the Lincoln Memorial. I have to admit the Lincoln Memorial was beautiful, I've never seen it as dusk. The way it was lit was incredible. After the Lincoln Memorial the sun had set and the cold & wind had officially made its appearance. We literally ran from the Linc. Mem. through the Ntl Mall to the Metro because it was so cold and the babes were not appreciating the change in temperature. When we finally got home, we celebrated by having some pizza. Mmmmmmm, comfort food.
