D.C. Giant to Be Unearthed Next Week for New Digs – The Post
After residing in East Potomac Park since 1980, “The Awakening” will be dug up and moved to National Harbor starting next Wednesday. The J. Seward Johnson sculpture was owned by the Sculpture Foundation and loaned to the National Park Service until it was sold last year to the developer building National Harbor in P.G. County.

I’m really going to miss seeing “The Awakening” when I bicycle around Hains Point. I will have to stop by this weekend and get some final photographs of it.

UPDATE 02.20.2007:

The Awakening — I stopped by Hains Point yesterday to take photographs before the move to National Harbor.
