Today brought:
1. Much sightseeing.
2. The realization that we purchased tickets for the slow trolley.
3. Because of our trolley choice, a lot of walking in 90° heat.
4. Lots of feeding squirrels and birds.
5. The chance to recreate a photo from when Neko was just a few months old (the first is in 2003, the second in 2011).
6. A comparison between the Lincoln Memorial and the Lincoln on the penny.
7. The knowledge that the reflecting pool, which I told Neko was one of the most beautiful things in D.C. is, in fact, under construction and not even close to beautiful.
8. The thought that I need to smile more in photos.
9. A new-found love for the Metro by a certain eight-year-old.
