Drove into DC after reserving the room for a second night. Decided to spend the day in DC as sightseers. Lots of people doing the same thing on a Sunday, great day for it.
Driving up over the hill and seeing the Washington Memorial then the mall area and the Lincoln Memorial is truly awe inspiring. Took a tour of Arlington Cemetery very moving, JFK, RFK, the Challenger Astronauts. Saw the changing of the guard at the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier, not a dry eye in the place. Also the grave sight of that famous hero Lee Marvin.
Went on to the mall area Lincoln, Vietnam, Korea, World War II, Washington, Jefferson, and Police Memorials. Capital Building, and the White House rounded out the paid tour and back to the bikes. We drove over to the Iwo Jima Memorial as a last stop then back to the motel. The only problem was we were in such awe of our surroundings that we didn't eat all day, tired and hungry is an understatement.

I actually had to Google Lee Marvin:)
It's depressing reading your blog. Lots of memorials. Glad though you were able to spend some time in DC. Did you see the Queen?!
So happy you got your own laptap! Looking forward to more updates!
Love you! xo
