We capped off the year by taking Guinness along for an afternoon in the capital. It was a beautiful, chilly day and we fully enjoyed it, complete with walks around the Tidal Basin and to the Jefferson Memorial, hot dogs on a bench along the mall, a trip to the White House and a close-up view of the Old Executive Building. Guinness seemed to be most excited about the hot dogs and all of the attention he received from strangers, as he was seemingly the only dog out and about in town that day.
Witnessing preparations for history in all of the construction for Obama's inauguration festivities around the White House.
The Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial-----
We spent an hour of waning afternoon light in Arlington National Cemetery, where we visited Dave Sharrett's grave and said some prayers for him and all of his brothers and sisters in service. The only sounds were those of the geese flying overhead. It was a moving and humbling experience, to say the very least.
