Lilypie First Birthday tickers

It's only a couple blocks away...

These are my famous last words. Yesterday I took my sister and her boyfriend to Arlington and DC. We parked at Arlington because trying to park in DC in close to impossible. We toured Arlington first and saw the changing of the guard, the tomb of the unknown soldier, and JFK and Jacki O's grave site. We went back to the visitors center so Mikey could find Audie Murphy's grave site. He's the Army's version of Chesty Puller. We left the car there and hopped on the Metro to see what else DC had in store for us. We saw the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial and the Vietnam Memorial. If you look at a map, these places are only a few blocks away but it's definitely not close at all. Mikey wanted to see the White House so we walked another 3 blocks to the front of the White House. After we saw the White House, we trucked it another 3 blocks back to the Metro station. We hopped back on the train to Arlington. It's was a good day over all. Although I was exhausted by the end of it.
