Saturday. Caught a ride to DC and got dropped off at Arlington National Cemetery. My goal of the day was to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and catch the changing of the guards. I was able to visit the Kennedy graves and made it just in the nick of time for the changing of the guards. It was such a special event for me, as i was able to accomplish one of my goals that I wanted to attain in my lifetime. Glad I went solo, as I was able to travel on foot to the monuments after. I walked to the Lincoln Memorial, from Arlington. I then stopped by the Reflection Pool and later stopped by the Vietnam Memorial. I visited these back in 2011, but it was great to see them again. Especially since the pool was under construction back then. I finally made it to the White House and took some photos outside. Got picked up and made it back to base just in time for lunch. Did some swimming after that. The electricity went out, while swimming and man, it was pitch black! Very dangerous when swimming. We later went to a local Japanese restaurant for dinner and really enjoyed it. Great company and friends! What an awesome day!!
