We took our two pups to the national monuments during the summer. We arrived early to beat the crowds and heat! We where not able to bring the dogs upstairs to see Honest Abe but they had so much fun from the outside! Both our pups got pets from Park Rangers and tons of doggy kisses from other pooches at the mall.

A fun walk through multiple statues and waterfalls until the ultimate photo spot in front of FDR's dog Fala. Unfortunately my dogs were terrified of the giant dog statue but I was able to keep them distracted long enough to snap a picture.
