Weekend visitors ~

Last weekend Layne & Justin (from this wedding) and Julie came out to DC! Some of Justin and Julie's relatives were getting hitched and we were lucky enough to have L&J and J stay with us.
Sunday afternoon their family kindly included us in their touring of downtown. We started at Iwo Jima...
...Walked down by Arlington Cemetary ~


Crossed over the bridge to the Lincoln Memorial ~
... Looped around the WWII Memorial and walked back to Iwo Jima. We had our fair share of walking that day!

Monday Peter joined them again downtown for some more touring...

True, no?!
Artsy lamp post in the front of the Library of Congress... I want this one framed!
They also got tickets to go up to the top of the Washington Monument - I'm so jealous! Here's some neat photos Peter took up there~

Fantastic pictures from atop the Washington Monument...I'm jealous too! When we visited DC in '01 (pre 9/11) it was closed for renovations.
