we went to the top

they wanted to go see the fireworks at the monuments after we took a picture by this poster.

We have lived here for seven years and we had never been up to the top of the Washington monument. Dave finally got tickets since it isn't really tourist season anymore it's a lot easier. It was the most beautiful, clear fall day perfect to take in the view. The kids liked it, mostly looking down at the river and seeing the planes and the little people. I was just glad that there was an elevator and we didn't have to climb up to the top. My ears actually popped a couple times going up. It was a fun outing, now we need to explore more of D.C. It's really sad that it has taken us this long. We were there the same time as a rally was going on to end the war and to bring the war money home for jobs. It was really interesting seeing all the people there. That is why Ben has a 'sword'. It was someones rally poster. There was a group that was walking around with a huge elephant balloon and that is what Siena said was her favorite part, seeing the big elephant balloon.
