Stephen and I in front of JFK's grave
Stephen, Barrett, and Suzann in front of Robert E Lee's house
Tomb of the Unknown. We got to see the changing of the guard. It was really cool.
The tomb says, "Here rests in honored glory an American Soldier. Known but to God."
The changing of the guard
Some of the graves...It was so sad to see all of the infants and children
After the Cemetery, Barrett and Suzann took Hope home and let us roam around D.C ourselves. Thanks guys!! So, we headed over to Iwo Jima and then back down to the Washington Monument and other things before we headed home that evening.
Iwo Jima...the Marines Memorial
Looking down from Iwo Jima at the Capitol Building and the Washington Monument. A great view!
On the bridge to Teddy Roosevelt Island-he was a conservationist, so this entire island is dedicated to him
Headed down the Mall towards the Washington Monument
World War II Memorial-This one was just dedicated and is right next to the Washington Monument. The Lincoln Memorial is right across the Reflection Pool from it. It was really cool.

We had SO much fun, but by this time we were sunburned and completely exhausted, so we headed home. Part III coming soon...
