The Washington Monument from the other side of the mall. Growing up, I always thought this was the Pentagon. As a child, my dad took occasional business trips to "the Pentagon", and this is the image I saw in my head. John laughed at (with?) me when I first called it that, and he still gets a laugh out of it and can't resist poking fun at me every time he sees it.
The very famous and powerful spot where MLK gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. 
Asa and Natasha at the foot of Thomas Jefferson.
It was a very rainy and chilly weekend in DC. That didn't stop us from visiting all of the must-see spots. After a two day DC visit, we drove back to Pennsylvania - a 2-hour drive. Janice, Steve, and Natasha stayed for almost a week. I can't believe it, but I didn't get any pictures of them at our home!
Back in PA, we visited an Amish home - which is now a museum site where we learned a thing or two about the Amish. I was able to show them Wehrly's auction, Brown's Orchards, Perrydell Farm, our goats, and the simple beauty of our valley.
