On Tuesday (post earthquake), Jay and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with a nice dinner, and we later toured the Mall’s newest addition: the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial. This is one of the great things about living so close to the Capitol. There’s always something to do and see, especially if you like history.
Technically the MLK Jr. memorial isn’t opening until this weekend (when they’ll have a big ceremony), but there was a soft opening this week where you could come and get a sneak peek. I have to say, I think it’s really well done–simple yet bold. The next time you come to DC, check it out.

There were a lot of people doing this.
And this.
For good reason.
