Arlington National Cemetery

The first two days we were in Washington DC it was rainy and miserable so we didn't do anything much but hang out in the hotel room. On Sunday we did go to a huge mall in Tysons Corner. We needed to do a little wedding gift shopping and it seemed the perfect time with the weather being so bad.

On Monday we headed out to Arlington National Cemetery. We have been to DC a few times and we had never been to the cemetery. We really loved it. I was beginning to feel a bit fatigued from the shots but they had a trolley so we rode that for most of the visit. The Changing of the Guard ceremony was so impressive and awe inspiring. Those soldiers looked so young! They were just babies! We went there first because that was the most important thing we wanted to see. Other areas of interest were the eternal flame where President John F. Kennedy is buried and the white wooden cross that marks Robert Kennedy is buried.
