Happy Fourth of July! Kent and I are sitting along Constitution Ave. in Washington DC waiting for the National Independence Day Parade to begin. Although the photo of the day was taken earlier this morning while on a run, I do have a view from my spot along the parade route of the Washington Monument.
This morning I went for a 16 mile run mostly along the National Mall. It was a tough run as has been typical of all the run's that I've done in hot, humid conditions. I got several great shots along the way including the Capital Building below.
The White House
and the Smithsonian Ticket Office just to name a few!
Our hotel is in a perfect location in Dupont Circle. We have a room on the ninth floor with a view of the Washington Mounument.
Supposedly you would have a great view of the fireworks tonight from our room but we will likely go down to see them in person.
Last night we had an early dinner and then caught a local play called Legions. It was halarious - two drag queens played the leads and were basically washed up Hollywood stars trying to revive there long dead carriers.
Today we are basically doing fourth of July festivities - the parade and then a concert and fireworks at the Capital.
Have a great day!
