Arlington National Cemetery

B had an interview in Arlington today so we dropped him off and went to the Arlington Cemetery since it was just a few minutes away. I hadn't been since I was 14 or so and the kids have never been.

We made it there just in time to see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown. Then we wandered around some and ended up at the Arlington House (with its' beautiful views) and L'Enfant's grave. Then we wandered around some more, stumbled upon Robert Kennedy's grave (without knowing it until we got home), got lost, missed Taft's grave, found JFK's grave and then wandered around a bit more until the kids were worn out and it was time to go. Washington DC looked absolutely beautiful with all the bright colored fall leaves on the trees.
