Funk Family Tours: Monuments and Goodbye

For their last night I took Paige and Peter to see the monuments. Nate stayed home with all four boys and put them all to bed himself. Those boys did not go easy on him, so he deserves a huge prize for his contribution to our evening.

We planned the excursion perfectly, arriving as the day was ending. 
We saw the FDR and Martin Luther King, JR monuments and then arrived at the Lincoln as the sun was setting.
That evening was the night of the Supermoon, and, when planning a trip to the monuments, Paige and I thought it would be pretty awesome to see the monuments under the supermoon. It seemed like a pretty popular idea. We saw a lot of people setting up their cameras and waiting for the perfect shot. The supermoon was pretty super.
 By the time we made it to the World War II Memorial it was dark.
We made our way back to the Jefferson (very awesome in the dark, but not so awesome in my photos).

The next morning the Funks packed up, and I drove them to the airport. Beckett misses them so much. When they were saying goodbye Beckett said of A: "But I not want him to go home. I want him to be here." And every couple of days, even still, Beckett says he misses A and C and wants them to come back. "Maybe they can come on Monday," he says. So sweet and so sad. I'm so glad they could come.
