Once we got to the bridge we continued with the Cohoon tradition of walking across the bridge. The Cohoon boys have walked across the 14th Street Bridge in every marathon they have run. We didn't want to break the tradition. We were also tired. And the bridge is made of steel and concrete, which isn't good for knees. Did I mention that we were slightly tired.
We were so tired happy with ourselves that we stopped by the side of the bridge and took a few pictures of the Jefferson Memorial. OK, that
reminds me of something funny. When I was a kid I had a hard time remembering which memorial - Jefferson or Lincoln - was flat and which was round. It wasn't until I saw the
TV show The Jeffersons that I could remember which memorial was for which. I was able to associate George Jefferson's bald head with the dome on the Jefferson Memorial.

Ray was standing on the bridge waving his flag around. I guess he carried the flag the entire marathon. He's nuts.
