Sunday 11th - Touring the Monuments

It was an absolutely glorious day on Sunday. We had breakfast in the diner across the road and it was worth the huge wait for the omlette station. It was buffet and it had every conceivable breakfast option you can imagine.....mmmmmmm....waffles.....

After brekkie we headed up to the National Mall and walked down and around the Monuments: the Washington, the WWII, the reflecting pool and the Lincoln where we joined the throng before heading over to the White House to wave hello to the Obama's.

Stephen got pretty sunburn walking about. I was the sensible one with the sunscreen on - but would he listen? Would he? No!!!

We drove past "our" house on the way to Morag & Simon's. That was a weird experience I can tell you! They've repainted the door and hard pruned the magnolia tree in the front garden. It felt strange not to be parking outside and heading in...
