Just some of the places we visited in DC, it's my favorite place. There was no tour guide with us so I tried to explain the history and some facts about each memorial. There are tour guides in DC who get paid to go with each group. They carry their umbrella's high in the air for everyone to follow. The kids said I needed to get out my umbrella out for them. I just wish they had more time to spend at each memorial. Each memorial has it's own personal feeling. At The Wall there is the feel of hollowed ground. At the Korea War Memorial you need to look at the face of each solider and at Arlington you need to take a walk and feel the peace fullness as you look at each row of stones. You need to read their names and what war they served. Arlington is so huge that you could spend the whole day there. The kids were able to spend an hour at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider. I explained how everything was done in 21's.
I"ll have more pics this week...
