WASHINGTON DC Part 2

and so we continue on....

SMITHSONIAN: NATIONAL ARCHIVES

Charles Ingalls land deed

 

Ty talking to our Ubber guy to get us to church

The really old beautiful church building we went to. Reminded me of the one I grew up in.

mushroom, really big mushroom

ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY 

  

I was very surprised and very pleased that people were actually silent and very respectful. This place to me was very sacred grounds.

We made it just in time for the changing of the gaurd

    

  

  

    

   

  

President JFK's grave

IWO JIMA MONUMENT

   

  

THOMAS JEFFERSON MONUMENT

Sorry no inside picture... I was tired/lazy/done:)

  

  

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR MONUMENT

WW11 MEMORIAL

   

precious, Utah and New Mexico are side by side

KOREAN WAR VETERANS MEMORIAL

*my all time favorite hands down*

The pictures really don't do it any justice. The soldiers looked like they were slowly creeping along through enemy lines. You felt like you were there with them.

  

  

  

INTERNATIONAL SPY MUSEUM

   

  

pen that turns into a gun

recorder acting as a cigarette holder

  

  

coins used for hiding things

  

  

Seriously?! Julia Child a spy

  

FORD'S THEATER

  

This was incredible. All these books are written about good ole Abe, no duplicates. This tower is as high as 3 flights of stairs. No other person is written about as much as Abe

THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM

Didn't take many pictures in here. This room is filled with just pictures of individuals and their families from a village that were killed by the Nazi's. Seriously so so sad

The ever burning flame to remember those who had died and for us to never forget

CITY OF ALEXANDRIA

we met up with our friends, the Lings, who lived in ABQ and moved out here almost a year ago

  

Their son Everette felt left out that we weren't taking any pictures of him

TOUR OF THE CAPITAL

Each state is able to have 2 statues on display at the capital building.

No clue who this is representing NM

This is one of the statues for Utah. The man who invented the television.hmmmm

  

  

The outside of the building had just finished with the renovating, now they had moved into the inside. Kind of a bummer
