Spring Break

Over Spring Break this year, the first full week of April,  my older sister and her family headed east to come visit us.  Our kids' spring breaks were the same week, so it worked out really well for them to come out and spend about five days with us.  They traveled by car from Indiana all day on Saturday. 
On Sunday, our first place to visit was Arlington Cemetery.  The weather was wonderful.  We could not have asked for a better day to be outside.

 Here are the munchkins with their cousins at the Cemetery.

 We were able to watch the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.
Our next stop that day was the Pentagon Memorial.  A sobering reminder of what happened there on September 11th, 2001.

We enjoyed spending the day together seeing Arlington Cemetery and the Pentagon Memorial and we were all tired once we arrived back home... lots of walking!
