Fun Family Photo

We attended the retirement ceremony of a dear friend at Fort McNair. Eleanor was thrilled to see the Crystal Ballroom! Oscar enjoyed watching the colorguard procession & even saluted.

The children behaved quite well given their age and the length of the ceremony. Chocolate cake is always the best bribe!

Behind the Potomac River is the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial & beautiful blooming cherry trees at the Tidal Basin. It was an overcast Southeast Alaska kind of day, well-suited for a retiring Captain who worked predominantly in wet weather.
