We got up around 9 and went back to the bakery a block from the hotel. Then we walked to the metro center to ride the subway to Arlington Cemetery. There were many people visiting the cemetery around this time.
We wanted to see at least two sites here. John Kennedy's grave and the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers.
After walking around the cemetery we took the subway to the next stop, The Pentagon. We walked around the south side and went to the memorial for 9-11 victims. Photography was prohibited around the Pentagon.

Paul called us around 5 to see if we wanted to get together. He arrived at our hotel around 5 and we went to dinner at a restaurant he used to work at in Chinatown.
Then we walked south of downtown to the Jefferson Memorial.
