How often do you get to assist little ducklings to cross the road? Not that often. The mother really wanted to cross Constitution Avenue. There was a police car ready to assist and an officer trying to corral them. I was fortunate to come upon them when they were at the corner. The mom got a little flustered and headed out onto 17th. The police officer in the car turned on his lights and blocked off the road. I helped the officer on foot guide them across the road. He had to scoop up one of the ducklings that couldn't hop onto the curb. Cutest thing ever! The officer in the car said, "Are you sure we shouldn't get them across Constitution?" But the mother duck had already led her troops behind some bushes along the Organization of American States.

National Museum of African American History & Culture
Opening in 2015, the National Museum of African American History & Culture will have a great location at 1400 Constitution Avenue, NW. The web site already has quite a bit of information available.
Running this morning was not too bad with a little drizzle. This afternoon, it was 55 degrees and very windy. I hope it warms up a little for the Memorial Weekend festivities.

There is a less well-known monument tucked away at the National Academy of Sciences on Constitution Avenue--the Albert Einstein Monument.
