Yet again this morning we had breakfast at the hotel, I had pancakes today and Rob had another omelette, this resulted in a cost including tip of $16.
We decided to visit Arlington Cemetery today and so set off walking. It took us around an hour to walk the distance, it was fairly chilly again today!
I think we spent a couple of hours here, it was a slightly odd experience as some people were taking selfies and posing for pictures which didn’t feel appropriate (to us). What struck both of us were the number of graves – I think it said there were over 400,000!
Once we left we decided to visit the Lyndon Johnson memorial which was apparently a distance of 1.25 miles from the exit of the cemetery – well it certainly felt longer! The wind had picked up and so it wasn’t the most pleasant of walks.
We arrived at the Navy and Marine memorial but struggled to find the Lyndon Johnson one – we did eventually but I must admit that I wasn’t impressed!
We had hoped to find a café or something but there wasn’t one so we carried on around and eventually got a drink when we got near to the Jefferson monument after walking across the windiest bridge!
After our incredibly long walk back from Arlington we decided we needed to rest at the hotel before having an early dinner at Old Ebbitt Grill around 1800.
We had a good meal but both agreed that we had preferred The Hamilton overall. We decided to have yet another early night as we were tired!
