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

The wooden fence in Rebekah's backyard is the border between DC and Maryland. Once the wooden fence reaches the street, there is a worn
boundary stone that is surrounded by an ominous metal fence. The boundary stone attracts the odd tourist from time to time. Yesterday, a wreath was anonymously set to commemorate the 220th anniversary of the laying of the boundary stones. Here is a puzzled Rebekah eyeing the wreath:
(Mom searched the Internet and found that the DC chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution laid wreaths at all boundary stones yesterday.)
