I just caught up with the last few posts. Sorry, I haven't been here sooner. But I do have to admit, I love any park with name Rock!<br /><br />Collect the damn things and not the little ones. When we're out driving my husband always distracts me from the sight of rocks cause I've actually made him stop. He's stronger than me and can carry the larger ones. :) Yup, I have them in my house and outside too! Has something to do with AGE! The oldest things in the world maybe?Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-480167875553157862013-04-25T12:32:58.153-05:002013-04-25T12:32:58.153-05:00The Vietnam Memorial is so haunting, and I love Mt...The Vietnam Memorial is so haunting, and I love Mt. Vernon. My choir sang there in 2007. It was fun. <br /><br />I haven't been by much lately due to the kitchen reno, but I'm glad I can by today. ; )Zan Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403563510118660546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-32018000901461110822013-04-25T12:16:27.719-05:002013-04-25T12:16:27.719-05:00If I ever get to DC I'll have to go back throu...If I ever get to DC I'll have to go back through all your posts for advice!

When I saw the design I hated it. It was stark and down right ugly by comparison to other war fallen soldiers. But then I heard of its traveling counterpart and thought, what a fabulous idea. When I actually saw it, it was breath taking. Unlike other monuments each man and woman has there spot forever in history and not just in the hearts of friends and loved ones.<br /><br />As you can see I have varying emotions about this monument.J.L.
