Last full week...

So work has been awesome. I feel I’ve accomplished something because I completed one small part of a huge project myself. I finished editing an over 1,600 page container listing! Sounds tedious I know, but it's no small feat. Now I’m putting on the final touches for these last few days.

I finally made it to the Arlington National Cemetery. On my last trip, I was 13 and it was miserable. This time was a much nicer trip weather wise, but what I didn’t remember is how exceptionally powerful and moving the place truly is. I took many pictures this time.

I visited all three Kennedy graves:

JFK

Robert Kennedy

and now of course, Edward Kennedy

I also went up to the Arlington House, at the top of the hill in the cemetery, and the house was in the families of both George Washington and Robert E. Lee. The view from the top towards DC was unbelievably breathtaking

They also have the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which is guarded around the clock all the time. I was able to catch probably the last public Changing of the Guard for the public to see that day, and it’s also really moving:

It’s really overwhelming how large the cemetery is.

 On a happier note, this weekend I went to my third baseball game, first time legal, in Baltimore to see the Sox/Orioles game. We lost…but Sabrina and I had amazing seats:

  
So this post is jam packed with pictures for you!

Next time...the final post and reflection

‘Til then,
