If you would have told me eight years ago that I was going to end up
moving from "safe" Minnesota to Maryland and that my future husband
was going to actually be working in DC, at the White House, every day,
I would have laughed in your face. I love it here. I love how much
history is around me. I cannot imagine moving away from here.
However, on days like today, when I remember the terror I felt after
September 11, 2001, I am surprised at how much I have stepped away
from my comfort zone. Today I am thinking of all the lives lost on
9-11-01 and all the lives lost since.
This picture was taken in May by my husband.
it is a somber day to say the least.
ReplyDeleteI never said what this picture was. It is the US capital building and (I think)the reflecting pool.
ReplyDeleteAnd if I could spell, the Capitol building heh.
ReplyDeleteI think that is the lincoln memorial....
ReplyDeleteHehe, you are right. Sorry. I am totally drugged up today. I fell down the stairs this morning and hurt my not quite yet healed sprained ankle again, so I am on painkillers galore.
ReplyDeleteI visited DC for the first time last Easter and loved it. My youngest son lives there. He was with Teach for America with Friendship Academy High School for 2 years and now is part of a team starting up a charter schol with Friendship Academy (my verbiage may be faulty here, but you get the idea). He loves DC - in high school he spent a summer as a Page and then in college was an Intern. You are so lucky to live there - so much to do!
