Probably the highlight of the visit for C and me was the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. Neither of us had any idea it existed!
It's a series of beautiful outdoor water features. There are four "sections" relating to his four terms in office. Each feature is unique. Each feature is segregated from the next so when you turn every corner you are filled with a quiet anticipation, eager to see what lovely surprise awaits.
This is such an amazing way to portray such a difficult time historically for our country. Perhaps the most poignant part of this memorial are the beautiful quotes engraved into the stone, many of which seem especially timely today.
"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith." - FDR
