The WWII memorial with the Washington Monument in the background! Beautiful!

We went to Washington DC this last weekend with our friends James and Travis! That was the last place on our list of things we wanted to see while living in Philly this summer. It was a fun day in DC though it is hard to see everything in one day we were able to see a lot. We went to the Washington Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, WWII memorial, and saw the White house and the Capital Building. We also went inside the National Archives Museum and saw the original Declaration of Independence and United Stated Constitution. Then we rode the Metro to Arlington Cemetery to see the tomb of the unknown soldier. That was one of my all time favorite parts.. on the tomb it says the words,"Here Rests in Honored Glory an American Soldier known but to God." It is always guarded and it is one of the highest honors to be a guard for the tomb. We got to watch a changing of the guard Ceremony, it was very humbling and made me feel extremely grateful for those that died for our freedom. I love Washington DC, it was so awesome to see everything and to see the monuments honoring the great leaders of our country and the men that died serving our country. It makes me very proud to be an American!

This looks like so much fun. My all time favorite place to visit was Washington DC. I cried when I got to the Lincoln Memorial and saw the first flag and so many other spots, Wahington Memorial, Tomb of the unknown soldier, The WWII Memorial etc etc etc. I was thrilled to be able to go see the Congress and the Supreme Court. it is very spiritual there. so neat.
I remember going to the Vietnam Memorial and there was a group of kids behind us being very routy. As soon as they walked down the the memorial, they fell silent and were very reverent. You could feel the spirit there. I found 2 men that my brother knew from Delta there. Made me think of the sacrafice they made, just so I could live in freedom. So proud to be an American and just seeing those pictures, makes me want to go back.
love Mom
