Monument and college touring

We spent the day today looking at monuments. Monuments are things that are built to commemorate (that means remember) a person or event. First we went to the top of the Washington Monument. It's really high up in the air and you can see the whole city from the top. Daddy was a little nervous but not me. I ran around, fell, got up and ran some more. And when I laughed it echoed, which made me laugh more. Once we got down, we strolled by the World War II Memorial then to the Lincoln Memorial. At this point I fell asleep, but mommy said we also went to the Albert Einstein Monument, which is her favorite.

When I woke up we were at mommy's college, George Washington University. I blended right in with the college kids when we eat lunch in the student cafeteria. At the GW bookstore I shopped a bunch and even got my first college T-shirt. For some reason, we spent a lot of time looking for a brick with mommy's name on it, something mommy got when she graduated. We saw lots of other bricks with people's names on them, but not mommy's. It was a very bad game of hide and seek. Mommy should really take better care of her stuff like she tells me.

Later in the day, we went back to my cousins' place. Tama made me dinner with all my favorites: tiny tomatoes, cucumbers and pasta. She made meatballs too, but I didn't like them. (Sorry Tama, but I heard daddy loved them!) Later on Max and mommy took turns telling me a bunch of bedtime stories. They were some silly stories that sure made me sleepy. I'm super sad to leave DC tomorrow. I hope we get to come back soon.
