Day 6: April 23, 2014
It's hard to believe its day 6 already! We visited the Marine Corps Memorial and Arlington Cemetery where we saw the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknowns, and wreath ceremony. We witnessed a military funeral with full honors; a 21 gun salute, band and bagpipes. And we saw the cannons being loaded to fire to welcome a visiting dignitary. We went to the zoo and saw Bao Bao the baby panda. You can watch her on the internet pandacam! After that we went to the National Mall to visit the museums including the Holocaust Museum. Then we went to Bens Chili Bowl for dinner and learned a lot about the cultural history of DC.
