Arlington national cemetery is such an amazing experience. We started off my going to Lee house or Mansion. Robert E. Lee owned it up until the war and then it was taken from him. To make sure he never came back they made his plantation into a cemetery.

We walked and visited and had a good time talking about this and that. Lincoln and Tina are excellent tour guides. We learned so much and we didn't get lost :)

| Tomb of the Unknown Soldier |
We spent quite a while here. Pondering about our lives our freedoms, the lives lost. It was very touching.

We did have some fun! Look at those cute kids and one adult....ok cute kids, sounds better :)
Iwo Jima Monument also known as the Marine memorial. Hope just told me that one of the two front men was a Corpsman. The rest are Marine's. Only three of those men made it home to live their lives.
This is what we looked like trying to get photo's of this monument. Nothing like a good umbrella shot :)

Washington National Cathedral. Very impressive and huge! We got there just as it was closing so I will go back on Monday, but for now I found the architecture very pretty.

| Washington DC Temple |
Tina told us that we were pretty close to the temple so we decided to go home that way. What a beautiful place.
Beautiful architecture, beautiful purpose. I'm thankful I will have my family with me forever.
