The nations capitol is pretty much my home town because I was born in Alexandra Virginia . What a lovely town so old so rich in history . I wonder what brought my family to Alexandra in the first place . My grandfather who lived their was a carpenter and one of he's two pictures shows him as playing baseball. He died to young to have very many pictures he got the carneige hero medal for saving two girls from drowning they lived he died .

Washington Monument
My earliest memories of the Washington Monument are my mother lifting me up to see out of the windows . The Washington monument was the tallest building in Washington D.C. last time I was there . It honors the first president of the United States he fought in the Revolutionary war .
He was one of our founding fathers he was involved in forming our government he could have become a dictator but he wanted better for our country . He only had step children from he's wife first marriage . He lived at mount Vernon Virginia .My mom had a early memory while visiting it that someone put her a a childs seat
while she was there .
Even though I never knew hardly anybody in my moms family she talked about a great aunt who builded something called the presidential Gardens . With having a grandfather die and mom raised by family she didn't go see I only have 1 or 2 people in my moms family I actually know .
I know her grandfather at one time owned a home on saint george island he agreeed to fix a mans boat but didn't do it os he lost this house . Some branch of the service has that island now mom always talked about fishing for crabs on the island I always wanted ot go there because she liked it so much.
