When Red meets White at the Mall in DC!

Some pics of my red during my stroll at the Mall today, enjoy! Beautiful monuments and love the different patina shade pics on my 1680 in different intensities/angles of sunlight.

Yup. Not a smart place to be wearing expensive things.

My mom got her house broken into.

Also while she was about to go to work, she sat at the passenger side of their 2001 cr-v while dad was warming the car. A car thief hopped in the driver side and tried to steal the car with my mother in it! Not a smart move as my mom could really give a beating.

Cruvon,

Great pics and welcome to "uptown". That is what folks in Southern Maryland sometimes call DC. Too bad I won't be up there this week, looks great and the weather is terrific. Enjoy our Nation's capital, and oh by the way , thanks for visiting!

You're in my neck of the woods, welcome! I live right by the Capitol. Don't worry about the crime, it's overblown. Just be smart like in any city and enjoy a fantastic DC weekend.
