This trip also presented us with an opportunity to explore neighboring suburbs of D.C. On Sunday morning, we took a quick trip the Arlington National Cemetery. We did a short, self guided walk up to the graves of the Kennedy family. The eternal flame that marks JFK's grave along with excerpts from his famous speeches. The thousands of identical graves of military men and women gives us a glimpse of the many valuable lives lost in years of war. It stands as a testament to America's commitment to world's freedom.
We headed back to Old Town Alexandria for brunch and sightseeing in the afternoon. There was a variety of restaurants and ice cream shops on Kings street which appeared to be a vibrant part of town. We had a seafood inspired lunch at The Wharf and headed to the seaport for ice cream and beautiful views of the water. This cobblestone street which is very symbolic of an old European settlement caught our eye on the walk back to our car.
