Secrets of DC

The Old Post Office- boasts incredible, expansive views of DC from the Washington Monument all that way to the Capitol Building. I am told that the views are even better than those experienced from the top of the Washington Monument. Access is easy and not crowded at this location and in my opinion well worth the short walk from the mall. If your in town check it out!

The World War II Monument - has in a hidden away service access area a piece of graffiti that is permanently etched into the granite. While this may at first "seem" like a piece of vandalism it actually is not and the history behind it is fascinating. Check out "Kilroy was Here" for more information.

It certainly has been a wild couple weeks with little time to do any serious blogging. While I have managed to jot down a few scattered thoughts on my BlackBerry, nothing has seemed to be post worthy. I blame this latest cranial blockage on the fact that I haven't been able to invest any serious time in the woods and on the waters in the past several weeks. As sometimes happens, other priorities have instead focused my attentions elsewhere.

As you will see in the outlined photo montage, I recently returned from DC where I was able to briefly visit with my cousin and her boyfriend who graciously carted me around the big city and showed me the local sights. Ultimately, a fantastic trip that I would highly suggest be made at least one by every single red blooded, NRA card toting American. Can I get a YeeHaa!
