Adventures with Grandma

Our last few days with my Mom were pretty fun. We enjoyed our gorgeous weather and went exploring. We took a walk through Arlington National Cemetery. It's such a special place, and it was particularly beautiful with the fall leaves. We watched the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier as well as a wreath laying ceremony.

The next day we headed back into the city for more exploring. We checked out the Museum of American History. We saw the star spangled banner, and walked through the exhibits about the Presidents and First Lady's. I love seeing all of the old dresses and china from past administrations. 

We had a picnic lunch and then walked around the White House. We took lots of pictures and checked out the DC souvenir vendors. Then we walked to the Washington Monument and let the kids roll around in the grass. We ended our adventure with the WW2 Memorial. Lots of walking, but such a nice day for it!
