I've always wanted to visit D.C. ever since I wrote a 20 page long report about the Viet Vets back in middle school. I don't know why I felt so strongly about it back then but I do; it is almost like the memorial itself is begging me to go visit it every since then. Sure, I have forgotten about this longing that I had way back when, but when I was browsing the map and mapping out my route I saw it and I just HAD to work it in my tour.
So now I sleep and I will check out the city tomorrow on foot.
