"I don't get it." Says Pippi.

"Is this supposed to represent the stump of the cherry tree or something?"

"No," Walter said, trying not to smirk. "It's this country's government aaying that George Washington's personal cherry tree was quite impressive."

Jaye? Is twelve sometimes. So if she happens to keep walking around to figure out the best possible angle at which to take a compromising picture of the Washington Monument, so be it.

Nadia has now managed to sufficiently managed to burn her tongue on the brown colored hot water the stupid vendors call chocolate, and has been walking slowly back towards the Mall and the Smithsonian when she spots Jaye.

"What are you doing?"

After casing visiting the National Archives, Piper and Veronica walked all the way down the mall to the Washington Monument.

Veronica might have been doing the same thing Jaye was doing.

Lincoln Memorial

Nadia buys some hot chocolate from a vendor on the Mall and wanders her way over to the Lincoln Memorial.

She only has a vague idea who Lincoln was, but he certainly looked impressive. but not as cool as the Washington Monument looked over the reflecting pool when she sat down on the steps for a bit.

All this walking was starting to make her feet hurt.

She took a sip of her hot brown colored water chocolate and burned the entire top of her tongue.

"I had heard he was tall but... Damn."

Jefferson Memorial

The nice thing about it being cold outside was that most people wouldn't take the time to walk all the way out to the Jefferson Memorial.

Josh preferred it that way. He turned the collar of his coat up and walked up the marble steps.

"Hey, TJ," he said to the bronze statue, turning his gaze to follow what the President was looking at. "Glaring at the back of that moron's head, huh? Good."

"Who's he glaring at?" Asks Pippi peeking out from behind Jefferson's pedestal .

Blair stops and buys a flower to place here, standing quietly for a long time.

Re: Viet Nam War Memorial

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia walks slowly along the wall looking at the names. Then she stops and gives a nearby homeless man a couple of dollars.

When he asks what it's for, she shrugs. "I know how you feel."

Re: Viet Nam War Memorial

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty is looking at the wall himself looking at the names and feeling somewhat weird about the memorial. "Kind of sad, don't you think?"

Re: Viet Nam War Memorial

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

CJ slips in behind him and lays a gentle hand on his shoulder. "It's just about time to leave, Blair. Ready?"

World War II Memorial

Walter spends a long time in the WWII memorial. It's hard to tell from his facial expression just what he's thinking.

Re: World War II Memorial

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia steps up next to him silently, looking over the various wreaths and plaques. She stays there for a moment, then seems to be about to say something, then looks at Walter and smiles sadly before walking further off.

She knew he was from the forties. She knew the war happened in the thirties and forties. And she knew he mentioned something about his parents dying. It wasn't hard to figure out that he might need some time alone.

Pippi doesn't bother Walter.

Korean War Memorial

Re: Korean War Memorial

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Didn't Vice Principal Pirce say something about Korea to her?

Pippi buys a disposable camera and takes pictures.

Re: Korean War Memorial

Once she's done she drops it off an a 1-hour developer and finds something else to do until they are done.
