Memorial Day Observed....

My family and I have been on whirlwind of a trip to Washington D.C. and Annapolis since Wednesday. At this point I feel we have been everywhere. Tonight at dinner my husband finally asked, "Now where are we tonight?"

We left Washington this morning and traveled to Annapolis where we crossed the Chesapeake Bay and drove south through the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia. We crossed the Chesapeake Bay again at the 17- mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel over to Virginia Beach, Virginia where I lived when I first got married. Tomorrow we are finally heading back to Georgia.

Tomorrow is also Memorial Day, and I thought it would be appropriate to post an image from Arlington National Cemetery where we spent several hours on Thursday. This image is just one of the best representations why we have Memorial Day as a federal holiday. Look for more about my trip over at History Is Elementary.

What a super place to be for Memorial Day. We did that a few years ago. However, we didn't realize it was Memorial Day weekend until we were there. All the excitement was amazing. The kids were interested in all the Vet bikers.
