5-8-10 Arlington



It's Mother's Day and out outing today is Arlington Cemetery. Strange it might be but we have been wanting to see this for some time and today is a great day. Sunny but not too hot. We drove instead of taking the Metro. The main sight Sue wanted to see was Lee's home, Arlington House, that he lost after taking command of the Army of Virginia. It is being renovated and one can go inside but it is pretty stripped down. It will be years before they move the furniture back in. Nevertheless, what a view of Washington.

We saw the Kennedy graves and then walked over to see the changing of the guard.

Sue's Mother's Day gift was to see the new movie Babies, that shows the first about 2 years of life, until they are walking, of four babies from around the world - Mongolia, Japan, San Francisco, Namibia. No script, just scenes. Pretty good.
