An unbelievable...

the husband and I just got back from a jog...but not just any jog. 

would you believe that we went out our front door and ran around, the Iwo Jima monument, Arlington Cemetary, and the Lincoln Memorial?  All on ONE jog!  yeah, seriously...oh wait AND it was during that magical dusk time, when the breeze cools you down, the lightning bugs begin coming out, the part of summer you CRAVE. 

We went over the bridge, stopped and took a moment to take it all in.  We could see the Washington Monument, the tip of the capital, the Jefferson Memorial, the city skyline of Roselyn.  

when we arrived at the Lincoln Memorial we sat on the steps to talk and take it all in.  amazed at how lucky we are. 

I have some thoughts about Abraham Lincoln as I stood looking at him sitting on his chair, overlooking DC but i'll save that for another evening.
