Washington DC

In addition to seeing family here, we've done lots of fun DC-specific things. One highlight was getting to see the new Martin Luther King, Jr monument, which will be dedicated this weekend. It's surrounded by controversy, but the experience was very meaningful. There's the statue, but there's also a long wall of his quotes. Here are a couple of favorites. "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."

We also saw a Nationals baseball game, which was fun. It was supposed to rain, but we actually had a gorgeous evening with a beautiful sky. The next photo is the Presidents' race, which was funny.
