We had another eventful week. We started off going to Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day. I had no idea how big that place is...it is huge! It really gave us an appreciation of all those who have served and died for our country. While we were there we saw the Iwo Jima statue, Robert E. Lee's house, John F. Kennedy's burial, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Thursday we headed to the zoo...again. Hey, it's free and we still haven't seen everything there. I'm sure we will be going back many times. Friday we went to the Contemporary Art Museum, the kids got very bored so we headed to the Air and Space Museum. Yep, that's our second time there too and there's still more to see! We were going to go check out The Capitol today, but because of severe thunderstorms, we headed to the mall instead. Tomorrow is Lexi's birthday so I will be posting pictures of the 3 year old very soon!
Just thought this picture was so cute of Jace. He looks like a little lion poking his head up out of the grass.

Alpaca's! These are my new favorite animal...I think they are so cute. We might get one someday :-)

This statue is a lot bigger than it looks in pictures.
In front of Robert E. Lee's house, which was built by George Washington's step son. Robert E. Lee was actually married here and then moved in after he was married.
The tomb of the unknown soldier. Did you know that this tomb is guarded 24/7, no matter the conditions, and has been since 1937.

I love the tomb of the Unkown Soldier. It really is so sobering.
