They were both amazed by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the changing of the guard that happens every hour 24 hours a day seven days a week.
Before this trip my kids could not have told you who John F. Kennedy was, now they looked forward to seeing the eternal flame and they both recognized the speech etched on the walls behind us.
Ever since he came to life in Night at the Museum the kids have been dying to see Lincoln. He was even bigger than they expected, not as close to the Smithsonian as they had thought, and Kristen said the steps out front were way too small for him to walk down. Oh, Hollywood magic..
"I have a dream.." that one day my kids will live in peace with each other.
The Korean War memorial depicts a platoon (consisting of all of the branches of the military) on patrol. The statues are incredible and it really does fulfill the artists wish to depict the rugged terrain and uniqueness of Korea.
