Traveled into DC again today. Randi has a childhood friend that works at the Pentagon so she took us on a private tour. After getting through all of the security (we were sure we were all going to get a body cavity search) Cookie, Randi's friend took us all around the Pentagon. It's an amazing place, a city inside a city with over 23,000 people working there. We had lunch at one of the restrauants, shopped at the stores and passed by the Joint Chief of Staffs Office. After touring the inside, including the spot where the plane hit on Sept 11th, we visited the Pentagon Memorial outside. The picture on the left is the memorial and the benches represent the 184 killed. The benches facing toward the building Right) are those who were killed on the plane and the ones facing out from the Pentagon (left) are those who were killed in the building.
After the Pentagon we visited Arlington National Cemetery. The top picture is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The changing of the guard takes place every half hour 24/7 365 days a year. Very moving to watch.
That evening Randi, Ivan, Yvonne and I stopped by Cookies house and we walked to a local restrauant for dinner. Great day, but by the time we got back to our motorhomes around 11:00 pm were were beat.
If you see obama...can you spit on him for me?
