DC with the Beverlys

Saturday, once again armed with good shoes, cameras and snacks, the four of us rode the metro into DC for a full day of sightseeing. First stop, the White House! We were also able to go to the top of the Washington Monument to see amazing views of the city. A random highlight right after this was catching a glimpse at the 15 car Presidential motorcade. Next we ate lunch inside the Museum of Natural History then took the metro out to Arlington National Cemetery where we were in awe of it all. The graves, the views, the leaves... all of it. From there we made the trek down from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier across the Potomac River all the way to the National Archives Building, stopping at the Lincoln, Viet Nam and World War Two Memorials along the way. We wore ourselves out to the max, but it was worth it! An absolutely fantastic day with fantastic friends.
