Wednesday, June 13th, Day Twenty-Two:
Today we checked out of the hotel.....saw a SWAT team arrive just as we were leaving......I guess there was a murder, I have heard, on the same street where we were staying....in that "safe" neighborhood" the hotel manager insisted his hotel was a part of.....yuck. Could not find anything on google about it, though...
Parked our car at Arlington National Cemetery...witnessed the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers....visited the graves of JFK and Jackie......did some "teaching" with the cutest little boy at the site....
......then took the Metro back to DC and spent several hours at the National Holocaust Museum and Memorial.....there was a photo of a young man there that looked very much like my dad.....very weird......
.......Metro back to Arlington
.....and then, we experienced the lovely DC late afternoon escape (that would be "really SLoooooWwwww traffic)........we made it back to Mary Chris' house & Marty bought some pizza for dinner and the kids were happy to be able to play together again. That was Malachy's goal all along during our visit to DC......to get back to "Mary Christmas' " house to play with her boys. :)
Only one more day with Marty.........it will be sad to see him go......but what a blessing for all of us to be in DC together for a week........not sure if it makes us MORE or LESS homesick to spend a week with him........
Thanks for all of your travel prayers! We need them! And, we appreciate them!
You are all in our 54 day Rosary novena......ALL of ALL of your intentions!
