On my last afternoon in DC (Nov. 1, '05), I hung out with Carol and her sister at the mall. We had lunch and walked around. It was such a nice day outside. It didn't even seem like it had been down to the 30's the days before.

The Washington Monument is finally free of the enclosement it was surrounded by. Of course, it probably was fixed a while ago, but the last time I saw it, it was not accessible. We saw ducks at the
WW II Memorial fountain. Those ducks were a little freaky...they just casually walked right up to my feet. I guess they're used to getting food from tourists or something.

We also visited the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial which is my favorite and finally, the Lincoln Memorial. It was great afternoon in DC.
