Another Amazing Day!

Yesterday was totally amazing.  We started at Arlington Cemetery ... at first we thought we would just walk to the various high points, but Linda suggested we might want to take the tour to get all the info we could. Well Dad knew just about everything they told us, but boy would it have been a loooooooong walk.  We started at the eternal flame for President Kennedy then went on the the changing of the guard a little further on, and then finally up to the top of the hill to see the General Lee House. 

Next we walked back to the subway and went back to the mall area and had lunch  before we walked to the Washington Monument and down to the Lincoln Memorial. I can't believe that Dad and Rob walked from the Capitol building all the way to the Lincoln Memorial when Rob was only 3. That's one long walk.  After a rest on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, we walked to the Viet Nam Wall and then to the Korean War Memorial. We stopped for a coke and then we walked to the White House. I can't remember being so tired in a long time.

We got back to the motor homes quite late.  I'm embarrassed to say I considered not even washing my face and brushing my teeth. Somehow I managed and fell into bed around 10 after I made Dad a fancy dinner of Campbells soup and some crackers.  

Today was spent doing laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, and fixing dinner for the four of us.  It was nice to rest a little. I still can't get my pictures to go through so I'll send this separately so at least you will get the message. Tomorrow we are off the Mount Vernon and hopefully the Jefferson Memorial and the Iwo Jima Memorial.


Love to all,


Mom
