We were in the VIP area for the dedication of the monument today. It was pretty cool -- open bar, live Sousa music, John Lewis and Bob Barr spoke (that doesn't happen at the same place very often) and Rodney Cook had a heart-felt message. When you actually stand under the arch, the proportions seem just right. This thing is growing on me and I really dig the pallisade along the pond.

Free admission to the museum all weekend. Come on down!
