Washington D. C.
From the Jefferson Memorial you can see the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial across the Potomac River. It opened on August 22, 2011, on the 48th anniversary of the “I Have a Dream” speech that Martin Luther King Jr. delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. A ceremony was postponed until October 16th, (the 16th anniversary of the 1995 Million Man March on the National Mall) due to Hurricane Irene.

It was a warm day in Washington DC, so Craig and I got some bottled water and then I put my feet up and RELAXED as I looked across the Potomac River at the Jefferson Memorial.
President Thomas Jefferson, 1801-1809, said; “Do you want to know who you are? Act! Action will delineate and define you!”

The Thomas Jefferson Memorial sits on the Potomac River and was built in 1943 in memory of the 3rd President of the United States of America and one of the Founding Fathers, being the main writer of the Declaration of Independence.
‘We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,…’

Craig and I went on a tour of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and it was very interesting! You can’t take photos inside, so this was the perfect place to RELAX and take a photo before going on the tour. As you go on the tour it is interesting because you actually see them making money, you see piles of money, amazing. Inside their was a saying on a wall, ‘Just think how I feel I printed my life time salary in a few minutes.’
