The Marriner Museums and Monuments Tour 2009 :: Washington, D.C. :: The Jefferson Memorial
Posted on July 25, 2009
Next on our tour was the Jefferson Memorial. And since my collaborator on these posts, the guy responsible for the words, no longer has anything to say about these pictures ( 
), I will instead introduce them with a quote from the National Park Service website:
“The words of Thomas Jefferson, some written more than 200 years ago, have shaped American ideals. Today, many of these impressive, stirring words adorn the interior walls of his memorial. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial stands as a symbol of liberty and endures as a site for reflection and inspiration for all citizens of the United States and the world.”
And of course there can’t be a post without pics of Grant and Griffin…
