Chris, Carol & Jim spent the morning visiting more of Washington D.C. sights while Suzanne rested on Samba. The plan was to leave Washington by 1:00 in order to arrive at our Occoquan marina before 5:00.

| The Korean War Memorial was quite moving! Notice Carol & Chris reflected in the wall that depicted the faces of the war? |
Quote at the Korean War Memorial:
Our nation honors her sons and daughters who answered the call to defend a country they never knew and a people they never met.
The ghostly images of the platoon in formation reflected behind the faces of the war was spectacular.
