Veteran's Day holiday. Sue had to work (Memorial Day is not a SNL holiday), but around 1pm we headed off for Theodore Roosevelt Island. This is one of the items on our bucket list. Except for around Arlington, the traffic was not bad. We walked around the island - took about an hour. Interesting to be on a walk in the woods and see big housing buildings through the trees across the river. I took Sue's picture next to this wonderful red tree which is actually a dead pine tree. You can tell from the look on her face that this is not a good idea. Still, the reflection is nice. A beautiful day.
On the way back home we visited the Pentagon 9-11 Memorial, another bucket list item. A very quiet place, makes one thoughtful. Imagine if that plane had been assigned the White House or the Capitol, instead of the Pentagon. A whole family, the Falkenburgs, were wiped out in the crash.
