DC Monuments
Today, Rebekah attended DC's Blossom Kite Festival on the grounds of the Washington Monument. The weather didn't cooperate very well - no wind! - but she still enjoyed the people watching.
Here is Rebekah checking out the kites that managed to make it off the ground:
Although not quite the size of the Washington Monument, Rebekah lives right next to an interesting part of DC's history - one of the forty boundary stones lined around the perimeter of DC. In fact, Rebekah lives at the very northern tip of the DC/Maryland border. Below is a map with a red arrow that shows Rebekah's location:

Happy Birthday, Uncle Gerry!
Rebekah started off her morning with a stirring rendition of "Happy Birthday" to Uncle Gerry. Rebekah did a few takes but here is the first one:
After she got home from school, Rebekah headed to the streets of DC (Dupont Circle) to celebrate the warm temperatures.
