Washington D.C.

We went to Washington D.C. today. So many things to see, we could be here a month. We went on a TourMobile so we wouldn't have to find parking and where to go. Great way to go. We went to Arlington Cemetary and were there to witness the changing of the guard, which happens every 30 minutes. It is truly sobering to see Arlington. Went to the Kennedy Graves while we were there, as well as the Arlington House. Sad to think you used to be able to sit on the lawn of the White House and eat your lunch so long ago. Now, there is so much security, gates, police, etc., even around the Christmas Tree. Going back again tomorrow to D.C. to see more.
