Sorry everyone, these photos were on our new memory card (we filled one already!). On our last day in DC we saw the Arlington cemetery which I might add was vast and bitterly cold. The cemetery contains 624 acres of military graves of American veterans and the wounded. This cemetery started during the civil war and has continued housing its military staff since. Also rests here is JFK and his family. You will see below two war memorials located near to the Lincoln memorial. On a brighter note various Smithsonian museums were free whilst we were in DC, so we decided to catch the National Air and Space Museum. The insides of the museum were stuffed with original Aircraft and space modules; there was the original Wright brothers airplane which they did their first flight in; The Spirit of St Luis, Emelia Echarts Lockhead Vega 5b and the Apollo 11 module. I fully recommend seeing the museums here folks! DC was a lot more relaxed than New York and a whole load cleaner, apart from the police officer who didn't clean up after his dog in the park i was very impressed!
