Can it be?

Can it be? June is hours away from the end. It's hard to believe. So far summer is moving quickly by. I hope the rest of the summer continues to be as good as the first part. It would be nice if time slowed just a wee bit. Wishful thinking, I know.

Capitol Hill and Beyond

It's been a good day. My last day was spent in D.C. We visited the Library of Congress, saw the Supreme Court building, and wandered through the Folk Life Festival. We paid close attention to the Wales exhibit. It was cool! I have wanted to go to the festival for a few years now and never been in town at the right time. Thanks to Julia, Bruce, and Colter for a fantastic and most excellent (that's for you, Colter) last day in town. Vă iubesc!

Montpelier

Julia and I also visited the home of James Madison. Pretty amazing. The exterior rennovations were recently completed and now the interior rennovations are underway. Piecing together the details of the interior from letters will take much longer. Here are a few exterior shots.

Jefferson Memorial

I've seen it many times from across the Potomac River on the Washington Monument side. I haven't paid a personal visit to the Jefferson Memorial until today. It was pretty amazing. Of course, many of the things Thomas Jefferson did were amazing. The memorial is a fitting tribute.
