Washington DC ~ Day 4 (Tuesday)

Tuesday we saw the Pentagon, the Air Force Memorial (wow!), Iwo Jima, Arlington National Cemetary & the Holocaust Museum.

After 9/11 they blocked off all entrances to the Pentagon. So we could only stop for 1/2 a second to take a picture. As you can see on the right side, they are still working on some things from the plane crash.

This is kinda hard to see but in all those trees is a memorial for 9/11.
This is the Airforce Museum. I believe it was unveiled in 2006. It was beautiful.

Then we got over to Iwo Jima. I never realized how detailed this thing was!


Arlington National Cemetary:
General Lee's house
We were heading up to Kennedy's grave & they stopped everyone & told us we could not go any further. We finally figured out they were having a funeral..but it was RIGHT by Kennedy so it had to have been someone high ranked. I thought it was Senator Byrd first but he wasn't buried until we got home. Obama attended this funeral as well- so we got a shot of Marine One.

Holocaust Museum..

Me & my beau at the Old Ebbit Grill..built in 1856. Lots of Senators & Presidents mingle in there, so we kept an eye out but didn't see anyone :/
Meet your new President!!
