While we were out in North Carolina we were able to take a couple days and go to Washington DC. We went to the DC temple when we first got there and then headed to downtown DC and walked around the mall afterwards. We walked around the capital building, went to the union station, saw the liberty bell. That night we stayed at my aunts house in Virginia. The next Day we went back to the mall and spend almost all day there. We spend a lot of time at the Arlington cemetery and we saw JFK's grave and the changing of the guards. We then went to the Lincoln monument, Washington monument, and the Vietnam wall. It was a lot of walking around but it was all worth it. We both want to go back someday to see the rest of DC. On our way back to Brad's we stopped at Mt. vernon. We say Washington's mansion and took a tour of it and went to his tomb, and just walked around his property and saw how he lived.
We were pretty busy for those couple days but learned a lot about our nation's history. It was a good experience for the both of us!
