Washington D.C. - A quick trip

James & I did a quick D.C. trip to bring a vehicle back that my aunt and uncle had purchased. We set the trip up so that we would have one full day in D.C. Once we got there we found out that it was the start of the Cherry Blossom Festival. We didn't make it down to the tidal basin, but the trees are throughout D.C. We figured out the metro system and took the trains to Arlington National Cemetery and watched the changing of the guard. We then went to the mall. Between the Washington monument and the World War II memorial was a kite festival with sport kite competition. We also visited each of the war memorials, talk about a touching, undescribable moment.
