On our way back from the Lincoln Memorial, we passed through the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
Lots of names on the wall. It’s interesting being here after having spent a little time in Vietnam last December.

Lincoln Memorial After Dark
The Lincoln Memorial in all its glory.
The Washington Monument beyond where the Reflecting Pool should be. It was torn up for renovation.

Hurricane Irene Storm Damage
This was pretty much the extent of the storm damage that we found from Hurricane Irene. All the fuss and the canceling of flights into DC didn’t amount to very much in the end. Elsewhere the storm did worse but in DC it was pretty much a non-event.
Yes, a branch blew off a tree! The horror!
