Sorry it took me so long to get this last day’s post done. I kept meaning to get back to it, but got caught up in getting back to real life activities.

On this final day of our trip we had brunch at a fascinating place called the O Mansion. It’s a private club, but opens to the public for Sunday brunch and certain other special events. First off, the brunch was incredibly good and so big that it was impossible to try everything. They cram lots of people into a tight space, but your table is yours for the entire day - a nice feature. Every room in the 40 room mansion is decorated with a different theme and everywhere is jammed with stuff to buy. Everything in the mansion is for sale - everything. This stop made for a nice event on our last day. We arrived when it opened at 11a and stayed close to when it closed around 2p. We ate a little, explored a little, ate a little, explored a little, for three hours. It was fun.

Then we took this final chance to loop back around to the monuments we missed early on because of the scare with Grandma and her fall. We explored the Lincoln Monument, the Vietnam Wall, and the Korean War Memorial. We enjoyed visiting all of them, but were particularly taken with the Korean War Memorial. Especially on this autumn day with beautiful leaves on the trees and the ground, this memorial was just spectacular. Each statue depicts a different very real human emotion - very moving.

Our flights home went fine, but felt incredibly long. We finally arrived at our house a little after midnight, yet both managed to make it in to work that day. Since then, we’ve been scrambling to catch up and get back to normal life, whatever that is.

Thanks to all who read this blog to learn about our trip. It was fun to share it with you.
