Another monument that was one of Wayne's favorites!!!

Wayne being taught by the master!!
This is also one of my favorite pictures.
Some of our favorite works of art include...
the "Ghost Clock"
which doesn't look like much until you realize the sheet
isn't a sheet at all,
but part of the complete carving of the "clock"!!!
Right!! It is all wood!!!
Even in person it was hard to tell that it was wood!!!

Van Gogh...

Monet...
Around every corner there was another original work
by one of the masters.
It was incredible!!
I could have stayed at the National Gallery of Art all day!!
Oh!! I did!! And part of the next day!!!

And of course, you can't leave Washington DC
without seeing
the Hope diamond!!
This picture doesn't do it's 47.5 carets justice!!!

We loved Washington DC!!
With all of its heritage, culture and beauty!!!
We kept wondering why we never took the kids
when they were younger.
But we can always plan for the future!!!
