The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial

Unfortunately, because of Hurricane Irene coming, the celebrations for the newly opened Martin Luther King, Jr.  Memorial in D.C. have been postponed until later this fall. I wanted to go down anyway and check it out. Now, it is a WALK from the Smithsonian Metro, and I was sweating like a pig trying to get there after work, but it was worth it.

The memorial was absolutely beautiful! Of course, I snapped some pictures, especially because so many won't be able to make it in this weekend as planned. See the memorial after the jump!
