Day 5: Washington DC

Today we used the hop on, hop off bus service. We were sightseeing from 9 am to 6 pm. I'm glad we did that because we seen a lot of stuff without much walking. I was the tour guide for our little group. First we made our way to the Arlington Nation Cemetery. The thing is huge!! We got on a tour bus there and toured most of the cemetery. We started off by stopping at the Kennedy's grave-sites. After that we went to the Tomb of the Unkown Soldiers. We even got to see the changing of the guards ceremony. After the cemetery we went to the Jefferson Memorial and the Franklin Roosevelt memorial.
