The Thomas Jefferson Memorial from across the Tidal Basin.
The Washington Monument. Pretty cool colors with the clouds and such.
You can really see the different shades of the monument where
they started and stopped building it for a time due to lack of funds.
The Cherry Blossoms around the Tidal Basin.

These next few photos were taken when Jen, Kathy and I went
to visit the Eastern Market. We tasted lots of yummy food
and enjoyed walking around the market looking at paintings,
photos, hand made items, all kinds of flea market type things,
fresh baked goods, flowers and fresh produce.
One of the most interesting things was this guy making animal figurines
out of strips of tin from beer and soda cans. Amazing!
And yes it did rain but we were lucky enough to be under cover
during the cloud burst and then made it to the car before
too many rain drops fell on us.

I had a great time and hope that Kathy enjoyed her visit of DC.
Next post . . . Marianne's graduation from BYU!
