We spent Sunday morning catching all the sights from the Lincoln Monument to the Washington Monument with the War Memorials in between and on the way to The White House catching The George Washington University Commencement Celebration on the lawns of the park nearby. It was lovely to see the graduates in their gowns with such smiles and with their families around them. We left for the airport at 3pm Washington time on 15th May and arrived home at 4pm on 16th May, UK time !
