More of Day 2As you circle the tidal basin on the way to the Jefferson Memorial, you walk through the Roosevelt Memorial. There are quite a few statues depicting the life and times during Roosevelt's presidency.


Finally, the Jefferson Memorial comes into view. You can't imagine how far we walked to get this far! And the walking wasn't over yet. Thomas Jefferson had some mighty big feet, didn't he?? Bet he had a tough time buying shoes!Fortunately, the kids were there to hold the building up! Can you imagine the disaster that might have ensued??Isn't that beautiful?We walked all the way back to the Smithsonian Metro stop and boarded the subway, getting off at Capitol South. We ate at a neat Mexican restaurant - Tortilla Coast. The place was filled with upwardly mobile young professionals - fresh from Capitol Hill. The food was delicious, the crowd interesting and the time off our feet very much appreciated. After supper, we headed back to Reagan and on to the hotel . . . . . . looking forward to Day 3, which promised much less walking! (But, we will see about that!!)
