Day two

We woke up early today and had breakfast at McDonalds yum!  We then boarded the bus and headed to Mount Vernon.  George Washington's home is beautifully kept and managed by the Mount Vernon Ladies Association.  It was a great day to tour the house and visitors center followed by lunch in the Mount Vernon Food Court.  Some of the boys enjoyed a long game of cricket with some of the people who worked at the house. We hopped back on the bus and traveled back to D.C. and arrived at Arlington Cemetery.

We boarded a tourmobile bus at the cemetery and took a mini-tour of the entire cemetery with stops at Robert Kennedy gravesite,  John F. Kennedy's gravesite (eternal flame) and Arlington House.  Everyone gathered at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for the changing of the guard ceremony.  The Alabama Representatives place a wreath representing the electrical cooperatives of Alabama in a moving wreath laying ceremony.

After returning to the hotel for a quick supper, we went to the docks for a Potomac Boat Cruise to end the day... WHEW! It's only day two!

Check back tomorrow night for more updates!
