On my walk around the Tidal Basin, I ended up spending some extra time at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial because the bookstore opened later than I thought and I wanted the National Park stamps from there. To kill time, I did a sketch.

As I had a late afternoon flight home, I spent the morning walking around the Tidal Basin and National Mall collecting a few of the National Park stamps I did not have or at least had not gotten in a few years. I mainly wanted to visit the US Park Police Horse Stables as I had never been other than we had saw it when we were walking the Mall the previous weekend after it had closed for the day. I also visited the Japanese Pagoda and Floral Library part of the National Mall and Memorial Parks.

On our walk back to the hotel on the National Mall from the Lincoln Memorial, I noticed the JFK Hockey Fields sign, which neither Dad or I had never seen before.

We started our day at the National Museum of the American Indian. While it was a long walk to the other end of the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial was a good ending point for the day as Lincoln is Nora's favorite president. She even enjoyed reading the Gettysburg Address and 2nd Inaugural.

This day we were mostly focused on getting Nora stamps in her National Passport book, which I got her the day before when we went to the top of the Washington Monument (was too focused on showing her the different landmarks and forgot to take any Ranger Dan photos then). Since we wanted to make sure we got to the Lincoln Memorial before the stores closes, we just crossed the street and got on the block as the President's Park to take a photo with the White House rather than go up closer.

Location: East Potomac Miniature Golf, Washington, DC
Dad and I enjoyed the East Potomac Miniature Golf course back in 2018 before we started tracking our mini golf adventures. I have been wanting to visit again since we started doing our Mini Golf Adventures and now was the perfect time with it being recently reopening after being closed for a restoration project.
We tried to play the course a few days ago, but it had rained too hard early that morning that parts of the course (mainly the paths) had too much standing water that the course was closed. It rained most of the next day and overnight, but by late morning it had become sunny and we decided to head over to see if the course was dried out enough to play. Luckily, it was as this was our last chance to play this trip.
As East Potomac Park is part of the National Mall and Memorial Parks, I brought along Ranger Dan.
