We had a jam packed day today! We started by taking the Metro to Arlington Cemetary. We saw JFK's gravesite and then moved on to the Lincoln Memorial. The first time I saw the huge statute of Lincoln, I was moved to tears. And again this time! Looking from the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial, you can see across the Reflecting Pool to the Washington Monument. We also visited the White House (post 9/11, this is as close as you can get) and the Vietnam Veteran's Wall and ended at the Capital Building. Then back to Arlington Cemetary and hopped on the subway back to our hotel. We ordered a pizza for dinner! My feet hurt more!
