The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave - Thomas Jefferson
On the way to Arlington, Virginia, Joe suggested that we stop by at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial - a memorial I hadn't really heard of before...
The memorial is dedicated to dedicated to the very distinguished Thomas Jefferson, who was one of the American Founding Fathers, the author of the Declaration of Independence, governor of Commonwealth of Virginia, American minister in the King Louis XVI and the Kingdom of France, first U.S. Secretary of State under the first President George Washington, the second Vice President of the United States under second President John Adams, and also the third President from 1801 to 1809...
Located by the Tidal Basin (Boisterous Sea of Liberty?), this is a very picturesque location. The view of the Washington Monument from here...
The bronze statue of Jefferson...
I fell in love with these columns...
What a view across the Tidal Basin...
Quotes from Jefferson...
A squirrel in the garden, running around with a sense of liberty, perhaps that kind that Jefferson had dreamt of for his nation!
