Eli Goes East!

But you just stand in those.



I think I had that and the four other worst things for breakfast at the buffet this week.

How do you think I get from the car to the airplane?

Wheelchair pushed by a sky cap.

I walked ten miles in the snow at SEMA. Everyday!

I guess I didn't post the pics from last night ...







Those are the only ones HB will allow

This was the one monument I really wanted to see...we walked from the Space museum to the Lincoln Monument in my 3.5 inch heels in the cold. My fingers were freezing and my feet were on fire, but I was determined! It was completely worth it. My next trip to DC, I want to go first thing in the morning before the herds of people and have a one on one with my friend Abe.

On our journey to see the Lincoln Monument we stopped by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. I was very moved to see the thousands of names of the solders who made the ultimate sacrifice. Just 2 days before the anniversary of the Marine Corp and 3 days before Veterans Day, it gave me a much greater appreciation for our military and their families.

There was a card placed by the wall and it was addressed to "Daddy". I asked one of the gentlemen who works there if he knew who left the card and he said he had an opportunity to talk to the lady who left it. Her father was a pilot whose plane was shot down. He was the father of five, she being the youngest at 1 when he was killed. A few years ago they found his remains and they buried him.

It broke my heart and even though I love taking pictures of everything I see, I felt it was an experience best left for my memory. I couldn't possibly take a picture that would do it justice. If the opportunity arises, I strongly urge you to take the time and see this monument.

Very touching! That is a trip I want to do in my lifetime.

I learned that if someone leaves a nonperishable item there, they collect them every night and saved them in archive. It was so touching. I love that we cherish our military and their families.
