Library of Congress & Arlington Cemetery (Week 22: May 26 - June 1)

We haven't done too much since we've gotten back from D.C. so I am still posting about the trip. The last day we were in D.C. we met up with our friend Marissa who lives there. It was great to see her. We visited the Library of Congress, ate lunch at Eastern Market, and she drove us to Arlington Cemetery.


 
They wouldn't let us take pictures of the reading room but this is the building's main foyer.



Across the street from the Library of Congress was the Capitol building.

Arlington Cemetery was so huge and there were headstones as far a you could see in every direction. We spent a short time here so we just walked up to the JFK memorial. 


 The JFK memorial was under construction. The eternal flame was moved to this temporary location on the left side while they modify the current site to make it more energy efficient.
