I'm unable to post pictures from this computer....BUMMER!!!
Our Day in Review:
Cool Things about today:
1. Arlington National Cemetery - we saw the Kennedy Gravesites
2. Smithsonian Mall was INCREDIBLE!! We were all able to wander at our own leisure.
I think my group went into 4 museums....we got to see Dorothy's red slippers, gowns of the past first ladies, planes and spaceships, The Hope Diamond....to name a few.
3. There was a HUGE concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial...there were 1/2 a million people...There a huge screens set up all over the Mall as it's called where you could watch it. It was HARD not to get caught up into the whole thing.
4. We saw Obama's motorcade as it went by to Arlington National Cemetery. Our busses were stopped and like 30 police cars, motorcycles, and secret service cars were in between his limo. We were able to get out of our busses and stand along the sidewalk and take pictures.
Which brings me to the UnCool thing about today:
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the changing of the Guard was closed because Obama was going there.
Great Day....Very exciting......Awesome experience!!!
