I had the day off today and it was a gorgeous day! I decided I wanted to do something downtown D.C. I decided to go to the FDR Memorial and walk around the Tidal Basin. Of course if one walks around the Tidal Basin one must stop at the Jefferson Memorial.
First I went to the Jefferson Memorial. I really like it! I think it's a fitting tribute to a great president! It was so peaceful there. After I stopped there for a while, I made my way over to the FDR Memorial. I also really liked that too. It was very unique and beautiful! I loved all of the waterfalls there. I'm sure there is some significance to them although I do not know what (or maybe they're just there for beautifulness. I do not know.) It was a gorgeous day and a perfect day to be outside.
As I walked around the Tidal Basin, I enjoyed the beautiful red, yellow and orange leaves on the trees. I watched the reflection of the Washington Monument on the water change as I walked around. I oohed and ahhed over the way the sun was shining through the clouds. Did I mention it was a gorgeous day?!
After I finished walking around the Basin, I went towards the Washington Monument. I wanted to go to the top of the monument but alas the tickets were sold out for the day and oh yeah did I mention that my battery in my camera died? I took one picture with my camera and it died. It was sad, but of course I still enjoyed the lovely day!
I made my way over to the National Portrait Gallery on foot where I met my friend, Elizabeth. We met up and went inside the huge museum and looked around a bit and then decided to wander outside. We saw a beautiful, bright rainbow over the capital building as we were walking. It was magnificent! Then we went to the top of the Old Post Office Tower. The sun was starting to set behind the Washington Monument and the clouds were really cool!
At this point, Matt called me and asked if I wanted to meet up with him and Lincoln and go to Spence's football game. So Elizabeth and I hopped on the metro home and parted ways then I met up with Matt and went to Spence's football game. They lost. But Lincoln is really cute :)

Sounds like an absolutely perfect fall day.
Next time, you have to remember to re-charge your camera batteries in order to feed us tree-starved westerners pix of the beautiful fall foliage.
Thanks for putting in a big plug for the wayward siblings who haven't moved to the DC area yet. We are surrounded by awesomeness aren't we?
Sounds like you had a fun time. Did the gorgeous day include rain? Just asking because of the rainbow you saw.
I love the new background. It's really cute just like you!
