Washington, D.C.

For those of you reading this that have gone or WILL GO to Washington, D.C. with Bob as tour guide, you should be THANKFUL!! With me as tour guide, I would take you to ALL of the memorials + Arlington National Cemetery, & 3 Smithsonians in 1 DAY! Yep, 1Day! And we would walk to all of them, using the Metro ONLY when absolutely necessary. That's what my husband & I did. Do you feel sorry for him?
We started out at the Washington Memorial, then on to the WWII, VietNam, Lincoln, Korean War, then lunch & on to the FDR, & Jefferson. We then walked to the Holocaust Memorial Museum, to the Castle which is the information center for the Smithsonians, & then to the Natural History museum. It was then to the Smithsonian metro & on to Arlington National Cemetery, to the Kennedy's grave, & to the 4:30p.m. changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I then realized that Iwo Ima had to be somewhere relatively close, so I asked. Sure enough, didn't seem too far! So, off we went on another hike. From Iwo Ima we walked to the Rosslyn metro & on to our car at a metro stop west of D.C.
That was all in 1 day! Are you happy I'm not the 8th grade tour guide for the D.C. trip?
Many blessings!
An amazing God story to follow!
Love in Christ,
Mrs. H

Hey Mrs. Hartfiel,
As I type this I am wondering how long it will take you to find this comment, but we shall see. Anyway, great to here form you, and yes your husband deserves A LOT of sympathy, but it sounds like you had an fun day. I might be going back to DC too!!! In January I might attend a conference centered around the inaugural celebrations, imagine.
Peace,
