Hi all! Happy (late) Memorial Day! The day started off with picking up Kevin and heading to a breakfast at the park with friends from church (sorry, no pics from that...), then we hopped on the metro
and headed up to Arlington National Cemetery.
We were a little scared that it would be insanely busy, and there were a lot of people there, but it actually was really neat!
Someone had donated thousands of roses, which they were handing out at the front gate to be placed on the gravestones.
We spent some time wandering the headstones (there are over 300,000 FYI, but we didn't wander them all...) and placed our roses on those of Marine Corps vets that we could find.
We were also able to see Obama's entourage leaving the ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown.
After that we headed home, had a quick lunch of sandwiches, and went to be POOL!!
I have been so excited to take Reece, and I wasn't disappointed. After taking a couple of minutes to get used to it, she ended up loving swimming!
Hope that you had as perfect of a Memorial Day as we did. Thank you to all of those who have given so much so we can have awesome days like today!
The End
