Bye, Mr. Lincoln!

I just finished my last run in Washington, and I followed one of my favorite routes: down Independence, through the Mall, past the Washington Monument, WWII Memorial, and right around the Lincoln Memorial. Instead of running right on back, though, I took some time and walked around my favorite memorial.  I love Mr. Lincoln! He never fails to give me the goosebumps.

Yes, this is a google image. But it's still awesome!
I don't know what it is about that memorial that moves me so. It is just so regal and awe-inspiring. Reading the words inscribed in the walls above his head reminds me how amazing our country is (yes, cliche, I know, but true). I never get tired of seeing that monument.
