Visiting DC

Michael took the day off of work and the three of us

visited Washington DC, Michael at the wheel - 

he was an excellent companion!

Our favorite by far was

ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY!

 We were trying to get everything in in one day 

so we walked VERY quickly to the

TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER

and got there just in time to see

the changing of the guard.

 This was reverent.

I sat there and meditated.

We toured the home of

General Lee, right there at Arlington Cemetery

It was fascinating!

5 of his 7 children never married

and there are only 23 descendants today

with the last name of Lee.

Arlington National Cemetery is HUGE!

Air and Space Museum -

of course we went there with Michael!

There is so much to visit here.

We walked and walked and walked and walked!

And Michael in flip flops?  He was a trooper.

I finally sat down and waited for him to go get the car.  Ha!

The White House is right in the middle of

SO MUCH BUZY-Ness and business!

Washington Monument

...that we just walked on by... we were exhausted!

Getting out of Washington was a nightmare

but at least we were in good company!

We love out country!
