Some of this may be a repeat. Oh well.
We arrived in Alexandria and checked in to the hotel. Everything originated there for the next couple of days.
Our first stop was Arlington National Cemetery. It is always a sobering visit. Today was HOT, maybe 120 degrees (at least it felt that way).
The highlight at Arlington is the Changing of the Guard. At some point I may add some video, but until then, enjoy the stills.
Memorial to the USS Maine.
Memorials to the Challenger, would-be rescuers of the Iranian hostages, and to the Columbia.
One part of the Kennedy Memorial.
After Arlington, it was a Metro ride to the Smithsonian station so we could quickly visit the American History museum.
The reason we visited the NMAH was to see the Star-Spangled Banner. We had not had the chance to see it the last time we visited.
Dinner was at Union Station. The food court is wonderful.

Becky -- Really?!
We stopped at the Pentagon City mall on the way back so we could walk and see the shops. Also, we needed to make an appt at the Apple store.
