Katy's Trip: Arlington National Cemetary

For our last and final adventure (sad) Katy, Clara, and I went to Arlington National Cemetary.  It really is a cool place and it is a bit mind blowing to see soooooo many headstones all lined up.  Anyway, my favorite part was the Lee Mansion where Robert E. Lee lived.  It's the nicest of all these slaveowner mansions (montecello, mount vernon) as far as houses go.  They are about to do some major restoration work so it was all cleared out so it was just the bare bones, which was pretty nice too.  I will admit the gravity of the changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier is a bit ridiculous.  I'm definitely not someone who loves military rituals much.  It makes me want to giggle.  Anyway, we had a lovely final day.  I want Katy to move here.  So Katy get on it okay?

Looks like a crazy place. I want to go someday. I'm sad I missed out. Working sucks. And Katy should move here already!
PS. Sometimes, do you think it's weird when Clara licks benches and kisses bums?

I don't just sometimes think it is weird, but ALWAYS. So gross.
