On my walk around the Tidal Basin, I ended up spending some extra time at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial because the bookstore opened later than I thought and I wanted the National Park stamps from there. To kill time, I did a sketch.

As I had a late afternoon flight home, I spent the morning walking around the Tidal Basin and National Mall collecting a few of the National Park stamps I did not have or at least had not gotten in a few years. I mainly wanted to visit the US Park Police Horse Stables as I had never been other than we had saw it when we were walking the Mall the previous weekend after it had closed for the day. I also visited the Japanese Pagoda and Floral Library part of the National Mall and Memorial Parks.

On our walk back to the hotel on the National Mall from the Lincoln Memorial, I noticed the JFK Hockey Fields sign, which neither Dad or I had never seen before.

We started our day at the National Museum of the American Indian. While it was a long walk to the other end of the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial was a good ending point for the day as Lincoln is Nora's favorite president. She even enjoyed reading the Gettysburg Address and 2nd Inaugural.

This day we were mostly focused on getting Nora stamps in her National Passport book, which I got her the day before when we went to the top of the Washington Monument (was too focused on showing her the different landmarks and forgot to take any Ranger Dan photos then). Since we wanted to make sure we got to the Lincoln Memorial before the stores closes, we just crossed the street and got on the block as the President's Park to take a photo with the White House rather than go up closer.

Location: Grand Strand Coffee, Myrtle Beach, SC
Rating: ❤️ (Love)
Mom, Dad, Mik, and I enjoyed a Sunday walk to Grand Strand Coffee. I got my favorite fall drink there, which is the Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte (iced as it did not feel like fall today). Mom got iced coffee, Mik got the Pan Van Latte, and Dad got the Lavender Haze Latte.
