Hi to all,
Well, we made it through the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. As it turned out, it was first come, first serve. The rule for visiting the bureau changed after September 1st. We have run into that several times. Anyway, we got right in. It was interesting but in the end there was just a bunch of printing presses chugging away. Glad we went though, lots of money.
Visiting Arlington is always a sobering event. We have visited several times and it always gives one pause to reflect on the sacrifices of those who have served our country. We saw the Kennedy graves and the "Changing of the Guard", always impressive. They have also added memorials for the Challenger and Columbia shuttle tragic events.
As we did yesterday, we were planning on going to Mt. Vernon but ran out of time. I think we are going to scrub that tour and save it for another time. (We have been there two or three times before). It is time to move on.
Tomorrow we are planning on heading for the Big Apple. We we will be staying at a campground in Florida, NY. I am not sure about Internet service so this may be the last blog for a while. I know you will be disappointed reading that. Ha! We will write when we can. L&G
