On of the main items on Quincy’s itinerary for our trip to MD/PA was to go to Washington D.C. so that he could go to the Air and Space Museum and to see the Lincoln Memorial. We were able to accomplish both of those things, however, the Air and Space Museum was really crowded. We weren’t the only ones there on vacation. We managed to see some neat things and had lunch there, but were ready to head on out and head down the Mall to see Mr. Lincoln.
For all the walking we did, Quincy held up great. On our way to the Lincoln Memorial, we walked past the Washington Monument, the World War II Memorial, and the Reflecting Pool (all mud and no water – you’ll see int he pictures). We also stopped at the Korean War Memorial. They had some interesting statues there. I was able to catch a glimpse of the Jefferson Memorial, but it was too far out of the way to visit. Bummer.
I think Quincy enjoyed it, but he is still a little young to really get into it full force. Some of the other highlights for him included: the ducks at the WW2 Memorial, the clover by the Washington Monument and the horses at the Lincoln Memorial. Since it wasn’t overly hot that day, we were able to jam in a lot for his little legs to bear.
