dc for labor day

went to dc for labor day to see kim. had a blast. really short trip, and there is so much to do there that you need a good week or more to pack it all in, however our mission was to see kim and enjoy a trip away.
1st place we went to was arlington cemetary. all i could say was WOW!!! over 190,000 soldiers and their families have been buried there, in thanks for their service to our country. to see the rolling hills of the white markers is a sight to behold. the only reason that you are no longer seeing the markers is due to the trees being in the way. we saw where jfk and robert kennedy are buried. that is kinda a spooky feeling just because of the whole setting. but by far, the tomb of the unknown soldier is a sight, spectacle, memory that i will not soon forget. we happened to go see it during one of the changes of the gaurd. truly inspiring what they go through for the memory of those who gave their lives. this honor gaurd has been gaurding this tomb 24/7 since 1937. their story and history is amazing.
we also saw lincoln's memorial, ford's theatre, and the house that he died in. this was one of the most memoriable of what we did. i am a big fan and supporter of who lincoln was and what he stood for. an amazing set of memorials.
