MLK day

For Martin Luther King Day the boys and I headed to the Lincoln Memorial. We first stopped to visit Albert at the National Acadamy of Science (home to the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council, a little plug for public health research). The boys admiring the large figure. I had to point out each part of his face for them to "see" Albert.

We then headed across the street to honor MLK . . . and Pres. Lincoln and all those who served in the Vietnam and Korean wars. A lot to handle for two little guys.

If you look closely you can see the words I have a Dream . It's where MLK stood during his inspiring speech. There were several flowers around the sight as well as hundreds of high school students. (okay, not hundreds but it seemed like it)
