Ma, of “Little House on the Prairie” fame, always said, “It is an ill wind that doesn’t blow someone some good.” Or something like that. So, given that T3 was unable to get to Pittsburgh, Mav decided to get a run in and talked T3 into going to. Leaving the Hyatt, they decided to head up the hill to the Capitol and then run down the mall. Here is a map of their quest (sort of)…
They got their picture taken (or took their own picture) at several important and meaningful locations:
at the capitol
riding the merry-go-round (not a historical site per se, but we could have gotten arrested after Mav jumped the fence to get in. “no really officer, I’ve never seen this guy before in my life.”)
at the Washington Monument
at the Oklahoma pillar of the World War II Memorial
a tree lined path next to the reflecting pool
where the “Bras Across DC” demonstration was going on
Mav at the Lincoln Memorial
on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial looking back up the mall
at the Vietnam War Memorial
looking at the White House from the Washington Memorial on the way back, when Mav decided that they should run to the White House and see if George wanted to go for a run. They did. He didn’t.
