Hey Guys!!! We had another awesome day today!! We started out our day with a tour of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. It was really cool to see where all of our money is made!! Did you know that they print about $696,000,000 per day??!! Wow!! After that exciting adventure, we headed over to the Holocaust Memorial Museum and took a tour that walked us through what happened back then. They had lots of incredible pictures and displays. After this museum, we boarded the Metro and headed out to Arlington National Cemetery and the Iwo Jima Memorial. We walked around in Arlington and saw JFK’s grave. We also saw the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and its changing of the guard. This was all really neat to see. For dinner we met some old friends from Tampa that had recently moved to Fredrick, MD. We hadn’t seen them for a long time, so it was really fun to get together and reconnect. Today was a great day, and tomorrow we plan to go to the National Cathedral and the Newseum. Well, that’s all for now!!
