On our last night in DC, Craig wanted to visit the Vietnam Memorial again and I thought it would be lovely to see all of the memorials on the Mall at night. As we approached the Vietnam Memorial, the Washington Monument look like a pearl. It was stunning. After visiting the wall and locating most of the names of the fallen soldiers in his platoon, his legs were too fatigued after 2 days on the roof to continue walking so I thought it we could drive around the Mall and see the Memorials. Unfortunately we quickly ran into traffic jams at 11 PM as streets were blocked off and cement barricades were being placed for the highjacked celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the Army. We took a detour into Virginia and just went home.
