Post Card from Our Nation's Capital

Lincoln Memorial at base of Washington Monument

(Look hard and use your imagination)

Okay, it's not quite as good a photo as from my blog last Friday, but the day was overcast and I'm an amateur! (The photo I used last Friday was snatched from the Internet.)

Everyone should go to the Holocaust Museum at least once their lifetime. . . .

We must "Remember". . .

Our Capitol, the Jefferson Library of Congress Building (second dome), and the Smithsonian

This is the first time in over eight trips here that the grass on the Mall has been green!

Wish there had been sunshine.

Federal Buildings at Federal Triangle and Interesting Sculptures

Having a great time. Wish you were here!

Post Card from Loudon County

Greetings from Virginia

View looking east from Bluemont Vineyards

at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains

We visited for the view of Loudon County. 

These ladies were on the Sunday wine tasting tour. 

Loudon County is Virginia's wine country.

Looking back up the hill (a mountain by Virginian's standards) at the Bluemont Vineyards

Great Country Farms are kid friendly . . . .

Where even the kids' train is painted like cows!

Summertime swimming hole?

Everything is green and lush in May.

Kids can learn to play chess--Giant Size.

The barns are red,

the farmhouses are white,

and the peonies are HUGE.

Wish you were here.
