Arlington Cemetery

Today we saw the tomb of the unknown solidier and the changing of the guard. I thought it was cool and boring at the same time. I thought it was good because I liked how they had a gun and their outfits. Wow! There was a lot of tulips where we were today. There were red ,yellow , and mabye some orange. I liked today better because we didnt get to walk that much we mostly rode on the double-decker bus and the subway (underground). We also saw the liberty bell and some graves...actually a lot. - Emily, 9

Wow! Today was a great day! I loved honoring all the soilders who fought in war and how every tomb stone was perfectlyallined every direction you looked. When i was reading the brochure, it said over 16,000 were buried at the end of the civil war, and today there are 325,000 buried. The land is 624 acres!There were tullips every were you looked, in many different colors. Also, we road a dubble decker bus that we road to many stops. While on it, we passed different places and it gave us much history and information. Oh, and I couldnt forget, while on the double- decker we happened to pass by a crowd of protesters marching for green energy. It made me remember that we live in a free country; whereas in other countries the people cannot express their ideas. They do not have freedom of speech. -Erika, 12
