A New Year's Walk Through History

To ring in 2008, I took the family into Washington and paid a visit to the historic Congressional Cemetery -- partly for the history, but mostly because it's a quiet place with a lot of space to walk and run around (perfect for having the oldest tire herself out). It's a really great place for photography as well, and you never quite know what you're going to find.

For instance, you might see a march king...

...or a beautiful Native American peace monument put in place in commemoration of the September 11 attacks...


...or a humorous marker meant to keep the visitors guessing.


And you never know who might fly over for a look...
