On our way to New York, we planned a stop-over in Washington DC. Mark goes there frequently for work, and had been promising to take the girls.
We told them in November that we'd be going, and Sophia immediately packed her suitcase. A sweet sign that we are creating mini travelers!
The hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetary was our first stop in the capitol city.

We spent lots of time talking as we walked, teaching two little hearts about soldiers, presidents and service to our country
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is always a beautiful and somber experience. Fortunately, we happened to catch the changing of the guard.
A highlight of visiting at Christmas was getting to see the wreaths that adorn every grave.
We stand for freedom. That is our conviction for ourselves; that is our commitment to others. ~John F. Kennedy
