We recently went to Washington DC for a quick getaway. I love history so this was a perfect trip for me. I love my country and I am proud to be an American!! I gasped audibly when I saw the Lincoln Memorial as we were getting off the elevator. I stood in awe as we viewed the flag that inspired the Star Spangled Banner at the Smithsonian. I cannot believe it has been preserved for all these years. I will never sing the National Anthem the same way again. The National Archives which hold the Constitution, The Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, the freedom documents my friends, this is who we are as a nation.
We also saw some famous american pop items; the ruby slippers, ,love those shoes!! Archie Bunker's chair alongside Edith's, a show that changed television. We were able to go to a Washington Nationals baseball game, beautiful new stadium and they played the NY Mets.
Enjoy the photos and remember we are free.
