Lincoln Memorial



I’m off to Washington D.C. for the weekend!

I’ll try to squeeze in a bit of tourism, but I’m mostly going for a wedding, so I probably won’t get a chance to see much.

Since I’ve been to D.C. twice before, I’ll share with you one of the sites from my last trip back in 2006…

THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL
