Historic Trip--Day 7

September 18th--Friday
Today we woke up and packed up for the day.  Had a nice breakfast at the hotel and we were off to go to see the Arlington Cemetery.  The traffic was crazy in Washington D.C. and Gary was concerned because he made my parents very nervous but it was because the roads were bad.  My mom and dad have been amazing on this trip and really have done everything.  We have keep things hopping that is for sure.  We made it to the cemetery just in time to see the changing of the guards.  Here are some pictures:

After the cemetery we headed  back to continue seeing some of the Smithsonian Museums.  Here are a couple of pictures we took on the way.

 









We first went to the space museum.  This is the museum that Gary wanted to see the most.  I also am including some of my favorite pictures:

The last museum we saw was the history museum about inventions and famous people.  It had all the presidents wives and the dress they wore.  Then a ton of inventions in the basement. Some of my favorites pictures are below.

We ran out of time and we left Washington DC.  We were headed back to our condo in Virginia.  On the way back home we stopped at Washington's home at Mt. Vernon for a tour.

We ate dinner after Mt. Vernon at Panera bread.  It is one of our new favorite restaurants.  They don't have it in Utah yet.  That night we made it back to our original condo.
