Tammy Absolutely Refused to Leave Washington Until We Spent Some Time Dancing with Our Friend Teddy
This was the only memorial we visited where the only other people there were a number of groundskeepers getting the place spruced up (you can't miss a couple of them there on the left), so, you know, we played around.

It is one of my favorites because there has never been that many people around, perhaps because we were lost the first time we found it and this time it is not the height of the season.

I once had the Washington Monument completely to myself (and four friends). It was the middle of the night, but it felt like it was there just for us. For a moment, I didn't mind making only $15,500/yr as a marine and still paying $3000 of it in taxes.

We're online at the same time.
Sometimes it's annoying that I'm a girl and have to worry that someone might attack me should I decide to try to visit the Washington Monument in the middle of the night. Of course, that's the only thing I find annoying about being a girl, and some of that is more about me being kind of wimpy than anything else. I'd never make it as a Marine no matter what my gender. I'm very tough in some ways, but not in others -- certainly not in the doing-lots-of-pushups or tolerating-people-being-mean-to-me kind of way.
