Sean's graduation and Arlington National Cemetery

The real reason we were in DC was for Sean's commencement for his Master of Arts in History from American Military University.

The ceremony was held at the Gaylord National Harbor, and it was a very nice ceremony. There were graduates from all over the USA, and even a few foreign countries!

After graduation, we spent a few hours at Arlington National Cemetery, where we did the tram tour and got to see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns, and a wreath ceremony. Just as we arrived, it started raining.

After that, we found fellow Texan Audie Murphy's headstone.

And then we found the memorials for the Space Shuttles Challenger and Columbia.

After that, it was totally pouring rain, so we headed back to the hotel on the Metro.
