Arlington Nat'l Cemetery
A week ago I was in Washington D.C. on a CloseUp trip with some of the other eighth graders in my class. We went to places like the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and the FDR Memorial, but the places that really stuck out to me the most were the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. I 'll tell you about Arlington, at first glance it can be quite depressing and it was, but on looking closer I found that it was very intresting. Despite the fact that 99.999999999999% of the cemetery was covered in tombstones, I actually liked it. The best part was the changing of the guard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It's one of those things that gives you goosebumps because it's so solemn. I took plenty of pictures and I'll post them once they are ready. Well that's all for now. : )
