Our buddy at our campsite. There is about 4 deer that you can just about walk up and pet them

We spent 4 days just 30 miles south of Washington DC. We spent the time at Quantico  Marine base here in Virginia. We spent the time over looking a lake with many deer coming to our area. Now for the visit we came here for was Washington DC . It was hot and very humid. We did get to visit many of the site and I took many pictures but I will show only the top site in DC. Yes I got misplaced in my driving. They have totally changed this area since 2001. They have many of the streets just black off with no traffic. But I hope you enjoy the pictures. Maile (grandma) hopes that you kids enjoy the post cards that she has mailed to you from here in DC. We also went to Arlington National Cemetery where 260,000 service members are buried. The military men that you see is of the Unknown Soldier Tomb where the Army guards the tombs. Hope you enjoy all the pictures I took over 100 pictures of DC area.
