Ah well, then we almost have to do this. And it'll set a precedent tht we have to celebrate all our birthdays with a bike ride or paddle.

I checked out a bunch of books at the library the other day with bike tours in them... One of them has an 11.7 mile monuments meander. So we could do this, unless someone has something better:

starts an lincoln memorial, on to the tidal basin, then potomac park, hains point, jefferson memorial, burea of engraving/holocaust museum, washington monument, then smithsonian castle & hirshhorn museum up to the c& botanical gardens. then taft memorial, garfield & peace statues. the the former main post office & union station... senate office buildings, supreme court & library of congress... house office building, national gallery of art, national archives, the j edgar hoover building, ford's theater, national history museum... old post office, dc city hall, treasury building, white house & lafayette park... renwick gallery, old executive office building, corcoran gallery of art, organization of american states, and vietnam veterans memorial.

the book's kinda old... I assume the world war II memorial is somewhere along this route but thruthfully I've only been there once and sorta avoid dc as much as possible
