Yesterday back to DC

We made our second trip to DC. We decided to just go to the Moments around the area. First we went to see the Whitehouse. Got to get some pictures of the south lawn and the White House. No Obama didn't come out to wave to me but then again he probably knew I didn't vote for him. Then off to the Lincoln Memorial, that was impressive to say the least. Then I did the Vietnam Memorial and the Wall. Had to say Good Bye to some friends. What a place to see. Also did the Korean Memorial, also very impressive. Drove by the WWII Memorial and didn't realize how big that one was. All these places make you sit back and wonder about Peace. Like Roosevelt said Freedom is not Free. So many of our fighting men paid the price so we can enjoy it. And to top it all off we went to Arlington National Cemetery where lots of them are buried. This was the peak of the trip and got to see the changing of the guard at the Unknown Solider. All I can say is WOW. Also saw the Kennedy grave and also Audie Murphy grave. There are places where the stones go on forever it seems.
