Almost 7 Miles

Our second day started at the National Achieves. Not much of a line, which we were grateful for, so we got right in. We were able to see the big 3 documents - the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of The United States, and the Bill of Rights. It was pretty amazing how faded they actually were already and hard to imagine what it will be like in even 20 more years. There was a pretty sweet officer outside the entrance to see the documents, who you could tell enjoys his job. Very boisterous! We then made our way up the old post office tower to see the city from a different angle.

The last item on our agenda that day was to walk the Mall. It's a pretty long walk all the way around and depending on where you end up... not enough places to eat. We made down and around the tidal basin to where the Thomas Jefferson Memorial stands to outside the Lincoln Memorial and decided we both were hungry and should pick up where we left off on another day. So we left, but were unsuccessful in finding dinner for about another 30 min. Let's just say that the first 6 miles of our day were Great!
