The last few days we wandered around with different indoor/outdoor activities depending on then hot weather. We took city tours, tours of Arlington National Cemetery, The Basilica, Smithsonian museums, National Sculpture Garden, Portrait Gallery, and Monuments to include the Vietnam Memorial, Jefferson, Washington and Lincoln.
There was the Museum of Natural History where David asked the guard how much was the Hope diamond valued at? He replied the last time it was estimated at 80 Million dollars but now they estimated it’s value to be invaluable.
The sculpture gardens were very nice and a nice walk. Some of the Monuments were visible from this area as is the White House.
Then to see the White House and the Visitors Center near by.
Then came Arlington and the Tomb of the Unknown soldier and a few that are known.
The final day we took a bus to Georgetown after visiting the National Shrine. A Basilica at the Catholic University. The largest church in North America.
