DC Day #2

This is the day we made some tired children walk many miles. We had hoped to set up some great system of riding the metro or other ways we had read about, but we didn't know what we were doing and no one was very helpful and we started out walking, and kept walking. We went by the White House, then to the Lincoln Memorial, and then decided to walk to Arlington Cemetery, then walked around in the Cemetery not realizing how very huge it was. It was incredible and fun, though. It's just that when we found our way back to then entrance, the kids were done, so we decided to see if there was a taxi who would take an odd and crazy crowd like ourselves to the Air and Space Museum. And that's what we did. The best $13 dollars I have ever spent...
