Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Dedicated by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (whose own Memorial sits just across on the Tidal Basin), on April 13, 1943, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial stands in a straight line with the White House. Architect John Russell Pope, influenced by Jefferson’s taste in classical architecture, echoed the style seen in Jefferson’s two most famous buildings – Monticello and the University of Virginia Rotunda.

To Touch is to See
“Social Programs” contains images of the fifty-four programs that were initiated under FDR and the New Deal. Within each panel, individual images symbolize the essence of various innovative programs, set within a background of the hands and faces of workers. The names of each program are also written in Braille. These are organized as five bronze panels, each measuring 6 x 6 feet with five corresponding bronze cylinders, which contain the negative images or molds of the five panels.

I got my eyes on you D.C.
Three days in the capital were just enough to whet our appetite for more. I don’t know when that will be, because there so many places in America we want to see before leaving the country, and the more time we spend here the longer the wish list gets; but I do hope we make to D.C. again, if only to explore Georgetown which we missed this time due to, well, rather unfriendly weather conditions (read rain, tons of it!).
But time to hop on a train again; not yet back to Manhattan, that will have to wait a little longer.
Our next stop: Baltimore.
