GMU & Washington DC w/Garrett

Garrett and I went to Arlington National Cemetery this morning. It was VERY crowded. With Spring Break there were a lot of groups...lots of kids there. We paid to have the tram take us to the top and see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown.



The wreath place in this picture is on the grave of the pilot who flew into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. I LOVED the cherry blossoms. It reminded me of Japan. One of the tram operators told us President Taft's wife received one tree from Japan and it was an experiment to see how they would do in the Washington DC weather. Well, they are everywhere so it was a success! Garrett really wanted to find Judge Rehnquist's headstone. We walked about looking at the various stones to find it.



We spent several hours at GMU at the admitted student day. We were able to tour the law school, ask questions, listen to several panelists talk about the pros and cons of going to school there.



After we left GMU we went back to DC and did some more looking around. Love the pictures of Garrett with Einstein and George Mason...classic Garrett!



I had never been to the Jefferson Memorial...it is a little off the beaten track, and I am glad we went over there. It was amazing!
