After a quick bite to eat, K & J hit the Metro (they're getting pretty good at it) and ventured to all sorts of national landmarks. They took me to the White House, the Vietnam Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the World War II Memorial, the Holocaust Museum, the National Art Gallery, the National Sculpture Park, the Petersen House (where Lincoln died), the ESPN Zone, and a whole bunch of tacky souvenir shops (no gnomes for sale - go figure). Fortunately for my wee legs, K & J took turns carrying me from one stop to the next.
Alas, I did suffer a bump to my noggin when they tried to take a picture of me near the WWII memorial. Three feet down might not seem very far to you, but believe me, it smarts, and I have the chipped hat to prove it! However, staying put in their pockets did have one advantage - I didn't get sunburned like our honeymooners did. They said something about slathering on aloe vera and downing ibuprofen like candy as we headed back to the Hotel Palomar.
Here are some of Kim's pics:

Are you certain your "swan dive" was accidental? Perhaps your 3rd wheel status is beginning to wear on the happy couple. Just a suggestion; I'd feign illness if they decide to take in the Empire State building while in NYC. Keep your little gnome eyes peeled and watch your step.................Just saying! Here's to your health and best wishes to J and K.
