Ah! The Awakening! I first saw this statue at Hains Point during a trip to Washington D.C. when I was in high school. I remember being in back of my dad's car, thinking how bored I was, and then - it took my breath away.

We went to D.C. last summer with our three children and I was so disappointed to learn it had been moved. I'm sure the people who enjoy it in Maryland now are thrilled, but I wanted my kids to experience it surging out of Hains Point just as I did. Maybe through OFF THE MAP, they will.
