DC day 2

 

We were on the bus at 7am, leaving only Jessie (stomach virus) and his grandpa behind. Despite rain and cold temps, we headed to Arlington Cemetary. Was 50° and pouring rain but that didn't stop us from having a great time

Stryder at the Dternal Flame

Great group of kids

Henry watching the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier

Soaked! 

Robert E Lees home 

Horse drawn caisson carrying an American flag draped casket

Silly lunch and then on to tour some monuments. We did have a few hours of frustration because our step on tour guide had some Miscommunication and we spent hours looking for her. 

Henry taking pictures of the Washington Monument

Jen and I at the Lincoln Memorial.

"Jenny!!"

The Vietnam wall was my favorite. We may have a homeless veteran. Of course Henry had to give him money

Korean War Memorial

Dinner and then illuminated tour of DC! 

WW2 memorial

Jefferson memorial

Roosevelt memorial was a series of water and stone monuments First term the ever flowing fountain

But my favorite was the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial

So many beautiful quotes

It is 10:15 PM and we are just getting on the bus to go back to the hotel.
