Itinerary today was the National Archives and Arlington National Cemetary. The biggest challenge for us is getting a cab. My daughters told me to get Uber, but I honestly don’t want to get & learn a new app. I’m also leery of individuals driving their own car to pick me up. I think I’m just getting old. It’s not hard to hail a cab, but honestly there are plenty to choose from here at the hotel. They loaded Mr Charkeys scooter and got us where we needed to go. I also got his name & number to call him when we were ready to be picked up.
We arrived at the National Archives and I can honestly say I am not only proud of our Country but amazed at our Founding Fathers and all the thought that went in to our Constitution. I pray we don’t allow our Country to lose what we have been so blessed to have.
Here’s some pics:

I love remembering how blessed we are to have been born & raised in this Country. I wish people would wake up and see how fragile our Countrys freedoms are right now.
After we left the Archives, we went to Arlington National. Just seeing all those hundreds of headstones made me realize how many people have given their lives to protect & defend our Country and Freedom.
We were fortunate enough to watch the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Here’s some pics:
Change of plans. Instead of heading to Philadelphia tomorrow we’re making our way down to Gatlinburg. I’ll tell you more about that in the next post.
It’s been great in DC, but it’s time to make our way South.
