| Changing of the Guard |
Today was a tough day. We started at Arlington Cemetery. We were able to watch the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown solider. We also witnessed the laying of the wreaths for the day. They were presented by an elementary school and middle school. It was a neat experience. Then it was on to JFK's grave. On our way out, we also went by President Taft's grave.
Next, it was on to the Holocaust Museum. It was painful to see everything, but necessary. We felt it was important for the kids to learn about this time in our history. It was very well done.
On our way out of town, we stopped into the Freer Museum, which has the"Peacock Room". Wendy and Erin had learned about this room a few years ago, when they did an art project for school. It was neat to see it in real life.

| The Kerns |
In the evening, we visited our old neighbors, the Kerns. It was a nice time of visiting and catching up.
