Arlington National Cemetery

After Mount Vernon we headed over to Arlington National Cemetery. What an amazing place to tour. We were able to see the graves of several Five Star Generals. They no longer appoint Five Star Generals. Many of the men and women buried served in more than one war. We were also able to witness the change of guard. This ceremony is pretty impressive. The Sentinels of the Tomb of the Unknowns. The Tomb of the Unknowns (also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and in any weather by Tomb Guard sentinels. There are three reliefs, each having one relief commander and about six sentinels. The three reliefs are divided by height so that those in each guard change ceremony look similar. The sentinels rotate walks every hour in the winter and at night, and every half-hour in the day during the summer.

Jackie Kennedy took this idea of the flame burning from the site at Gettysburg. It was fun to find this out because we were just at Gettysburg the day before.

Ari was so mad that she got put in the babybjourn. She is just too heavy to carry and we couldn't take the stroller because we rode a bus around the grounds.

Taken at the Memorial Amphitheater.

Cute man played the harmonica for Ari.

Ari loved spending time with her Auntie Mitzie and her Uncle Dennis. They spoiled all of us.

Having fun with daddy.
