Day 15

We got up and, after eating, called a cab. The cab took us to the Arlington National Cemetary. We saw Kennedy's grave, (the eternal flame) the changing of the guard, and Audie Murphy's grave. We also went up to the Custis Lee Mansion. It was really neat. After going to the cemetary, we headed for the capitol. We got in the first tour, and watched a video. Then we got headphones, and listened to our tour guided through those. (Maybe because it was too noisy with all the tours?) The capitol was different than it was last time, they moved the state statues around so that they were not all in the same room. Basically after that, we drove and drove to Fort McHenry, got there just as it closed, and found a hotel to spend the night.
