We are quickly realizing our time here in the Washington D.C. area is possibly drawing to a close and we have yet to go into the city and do any of the tourist things. SO, we hopped on the Metro on a Saturday morning and headed into DC. We decided to spend the afternoon at Arlington Cemetery and the Iwo Jima Memorial. It was an absolutely gorgeous fall day. The humidity and heat have subsided for the most part so being outdoors has FINALLY become tolerable. We visitied the tomb of the Unknown Solider, where I could not help but tear up as I read the inscription. 
We then headed over to the Marine Memorial or the Iwo Jima Memorial. I was not prepared for how HUGE the monument actually was. What an amazing site! A must see if you are ever in the DC area! Here are the pictures! ENJOY!
I am sure there will be many more trips into DC before the year is over, stay tuned for our future adventures!
