Day one of our whirlwind brother-sister weekend road trip…so many sights, so little time! It’s been GREAT. Here’s a peek at what we saw today…
Mount Vernon, George Washington’s home…
I was a little awe-struck to be walking around where this incredible man once lived!
George & Martha Washington’s tomb
Arlington National Cemetery – Tomb of The Unknown Soldier. Standing there really brought out the reality of how much so many have sacrificed…people I never knew, but who made all the difference…it was humbling and touching. I am so thankful!!
After 8 hours in the car and 4 more on foot…yeah, you could say I was tired…

How cool! I’ve never been anywhere “important” like that…LOL
Just hearing the phrase “the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” sends shivers all over me–I can only imagine how it feels to actually BE there!
