Sorry all for the missed update yesterday.I promise I will explain, but in chronological order. Yesterday started out with Arlington National Cemetery, where we attended a patriotic service and witnessed the changing of the guard. It was a jaw-dropping ceremony, carried out with extreme precision. We spent a lot of time there and then we went to lunch. After lunch we went to the Lincoln Memorial, where we were struck by rain. We were forced to remain there, thus missing our appointment at the National Archives. However it gave us the chance to see the Vietnam and Korean Memorials which were absolutely amazing. We went to diner at a sea food buffet, then we went to see the FDR and Jefferson memorials, which were very interesting. When we arrived at the hotel at 9:30, the power was out. We waited for a solution, then we were told that we were looking for a new hotel. We found one at around 1 AM and then started moving there. We arrived at 2:30. Props to the Marriot hotel, who was able to jump to their feet to prepare all those rooms for us and make us breakfast when they were completely unaware we'd be dropping by. Today we quickly toured Mount Vernon then rode on down here to Fort AP Hill. We're finally at the Jamboree! The rest of the day was set up of our campsite and besides from a few broken tent poles we're doing most excellent. I promise I'll post tomorrow!
