The next day we went to the Washington Monument, toured the White House and the Capital Building, and then we also went to the Library of Congress. After that we drove across the river to Arlington National Cemetery. It was amazing to be there and see all the grave markers and remember the sacrifice so many have made for our country. We also got to see the changing of the guard at the tomb on the unknown solider. That night we went to Alexandria. I absolutely LOVED this town. It is very historic and charming. While we were there we went on a ghost tour where we heard ghost stories at their location. It was a blast!
On Friday we went to the Washington DC temple. The temple is beautiful! After the temple we headed into the city and went to the Holocaust museum. It was huge. I was amazed at how many people and places were affected by this event. Later that afternoon we went to the National Museum of Crime and Punishment. That was so much fun. It had all my CSI stuff. We got to solve a crime, crack a safe, be in a line up, and do some police simulations which included pulling someone over and a gun simulation.
On the last day we went to the rally. It was so HOT and there were so many people but it was fun to be apart of it. We had a great trip!
That sounds like a fun trip - I'm kind of jealous. I love it out there!
