Wandering in Washington, DC

It was a "TR" day for our trip to Washington, D.C. We drove the TRuck to the TRain, then took the TRolley around the city and the TRam around Arlington. We still managed to do a lot of walking even though it seems like it was all sedentary. The one day gave us just a taste of the city, making us want to come back for an extended stay. We had a chance to visit the Vietnam, Korean and World War II memorials in addition to several other sites. Our visit to Arlington National Cemetery and seeing the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was inspiring.
