DC day 3

Pentagon tour this morning. We found out that the construction to begin building the Pentagon started on September 11. We thought that was pretty freaky. A person is not allowed to take pictures of the actual Pentagon building or inside, but the main area they had 2 spots that pictures could be taken.

Teetay, Andrew, Ryan, and Tyler

The Pentagon Memorial just opened September 11, 2008. We were able to walk and see it also. It is a beautiful memorial for all those affected by the plane that hit the Pentagon. A bench represents each person and has their name on the front of it. Very nicely done.

Andrew by a bench
(this was before he slipped and had his leg all the way to his knee go in the pool of water below the bench)

Tyler went home with Kristin and the girls, and Chris, Ryan, Andrew, Grant, and I went on to the Holocaust Museum and to Arlington Cemetery to see the "Changing of the Guard". Pictures weren't allowed at the Holocaust Museum either except in the Hall of Remembrance.

Leaving DC tomorrow morning and heading to Monticello on our way to Williamsburg, VA for the NFED conference. Not sure if I'll have access to a computer or not. If not, you'll hear from me next week.
