Washington DC - Saturday

On Saturday we went to the Pentagon where PawPaw used to work. We saw a very good September 11 memorial. We went to Arlington Cemetery where we met an old white squirrel. Chris told me he thinks it is the President's Squirrel. We had to watch the changing of the guard at the tomb but I just wanted to go find the white squirrel. I guess 21 is a very important number. I can't remember why but Chris told me. We saw a lot of dead people's graves. Chris has a friend buried there and my Grandma and Paw paw used to live by the cemetery. We got a little lost and because of that we got tickets to the White House. I stood in the driveway where the dogs of the president have played. My friend at school told me that I wouldn't get close to the White House but we were so lucky we got to go in. My mom told the guard what John said and he said well bring her up here and take her picture. I was closer than anyone else has ever been. Chris and I planted a flower and we are going to see if mine can beat his. We are lucky that I had my lucky jacket. We also went to an Indian Prayer Vigil for the Earth. We saw a lot of things. Chris likes to take funny pictures. He took us the long way to see the Vietnam Memorial. We walked all the way back to the WWII monument before we realized it was all the way back at the other end by the other two memorials. We had to walk all the way back down there and then all the way back to get on the Metro. My mom finally gave him a map. It helped a lot.
