Awed at the sight

I forgot to mention that, as I drove to Alexandria, my route took me within view of the White House, the Washington Monument, and the Pentagon. The sight of the White House still fills me with awe—it is a beautiful national monument. I only caught a glimpse of the Washington Monument, its needle structure high in the sky. I had never seen the Pentagon up close: a massive building whose purpose is illustrated by the solid, impenetrable-looking walls. It’s hard to believe those walls were so violently breached in 2011.

About dustier58

After a life-changing kidney transplant, I am living my best life! Retiring has given me the opportunity to indulge in my love of music and crafts, to learn new skills, and to travel. In 1993,in the course of ten weeks, I drove across the United States in a Toyota Corolla with my dog, Muttley, as my co-pilot. I covered 21,512 miles, visited thirty states, including Alaska, as well as four Canadian provinces, and took a day trip into Mexico. When I returned home, I vowed to repeat the trip some day. That “some day” has arrived!
