Our
wake up call was a little bit later this morning. The first stop
today was Arlington Cemetery. We spent quite a bit of time here
and really enjoyed all aspects of it. As we progressed through
the tour almost everyone was silent out of respect. Who could
have ever imagined seeing JFK's eternal flame or the tomb of the
unknown soldiers.

It
was already noon! The day was starting to get away from us so it
was time to head to the Smithsonian. There were so many
buildings to look at we split up and went to different
buildings..

Touring
through the Smithsonian buildings took a little bit longer than
we had expected. So, we headed to the Capitol building to see if
we could still catch a tour. Unfortunately we missed the last
tour. But, we were still allowed to go into different parts of
the building. We also saw a statue of our very own General
Beadle!

After
looking through the Capitol Building we discovered that we were
only a few blocks from Union Station. On the way to Union
Station we passed the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court.
Union Station proved to be a great surprise, there were many
places to eat and shop plus we could also get on the Metro from
there.

Time
to head back to the hotel. Everyone was exhausted. But, we had
enough energy to sing happy birthday to Sheila Haack while we
were waiting for the Metro. I think that tipped people off
that we might be tourists! Day 3 of our trip was now over.
