On one of the nicest days this summer, I finally made if over to Arlington National Cemetery. It is a beautiful, peaceful place, with nice elevated views of the city. This day it was in the low to mid 70s, with low humidity, so it was a perfect day to hike around. I looked up Uncle Jeff, and tracked down the location where he and Aunt Wanda’s remains are located.
I never realized how big the cemetery is. I covers 624 acres, and contains the remains of more than 320,000 people. It has many famous people, and many memorials of historic events. I managed to swing by the JFK grave site, and got a quick glimpse of the Tomb of the Unknowns. Due to another engagement, I only stayed a few hours, but I will definitely go back and spend some more time there.
