Strolling on the Washington Mall

Before and after we went to the Natural History Museum, we walked around the Washington DC Mall.

Deb and Brenda in front of the White House.

There was an open air Opera / Concert we caught the tail end of.

Téo had fun on the merri-go-round.

It was getting dark...

... and the moon was big and bright. (Though not on this photos!)

But it still made for nice photos.

And the twilight made for some great backgrounds!

Téo, od course, couldn't stand still... ;-)

At the bottom of the Washington Monument.

Deb and Brenda at the foot, literally, of Lincoln in his memorial.

A view of the Washington Monument from the Lincoln Memorial steps.

And we introduce Brenda to our favorite spot, the Einstein memorial, with the obligatory photo on dear old Albert's lap.
