Memorial Day and the President

We went up to Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial day, in hopes of catching the President lay the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Unfortunately, you have to be there really early to get into that, but we did spend a nice day touring Robert E. Lee's house, visiting the historic graves, and in general remembering our fallen heroes of the past.

Here are the girls and I at the Women's Memorial.

AND- we got to see the President after all! He drove by in his limo with the First Lady on the way to the Tomb of the Unknowns. They waved at the girls, who were right next to the road and quite noticeable in their big Williamsburg sun hats. All this time in DC, but that was our first President sighting!
