Arlington National Cemetery

View of Washington D.C. from Arlington National Cemetery
On July  13, 2013 we went to Arlington National Cemetery and visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Kennedy grave, and, last but not least, the Arlington House. my favorite part was the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.


 During the Changing of the Guard the soldier checked his gun and that took a long time. After the changing of the guard they did a wreath ceremony. The wreath ceremony was cool because a soldier played Taps om the trumpet.


The Kennedy grave had Kennedy, his wife, and two children. There was an eternal flame that I liked a lot.


After, we went to the Arlington House, where Robert E Lee lived. He had four boys and three girls. There was a china set from Mount Vernon where George Washington's home was.
