Fourth of July.

Sorry it is sooooo late!

1st, we went to the parade in D.C.
Then, we went to see the Washington Monument. Well, we just went close to it and did not go in, but hope to go in while our exchange students are here. Then, we watched a little more of the parade. There were some really cool things there.

This is the Fourth of July Parade.

It is a man driving a unicycle and doing a whole bunch of cool tricks.

Then, after watching all those cool things in the parade go by...

We decided to go to the White House and visit the President.

...And here we are!

Then, we went to the Lincoln Memorial. Maider really wanted to go there.

Then, from there, we walked to the Arlington Cemetery.

If you look closely, you will see a robin on a gravestone. While we were there, we visited...

Then, we went to The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers where we learned that there is always a guard walking back and forth even when it is closed (yes, i mean 24/7).

This is when we were at the Iwo Gema (I think that is how you spell it.), looking at the nice fireworks.

Chris and Simon played soccer for a little bit.

Sorry, it is sort of blurry, but it's hard to get a picture of these fireworks.

Then, we slept.
