6/26/11 Arlington National Cemetery & Great Falls National Park

Sunday I went to Arlington National Cemetery. Arlington is the 2nd largest cemetery in the United States. It is a military cemetery. More than 300000 people are buried there, including some famous people like president J.F. Kennedy. The cemetery is huge, but beautiful. It is shocking though when you see all the graves, and think about all those people who died during/after they served for their country.
Here are some pictures:

For the unknown soldiers

There is a more famous monument for the unknown soldiers too. There you have the change of the guards every 30 minutes. It was really impressive to see:

Later that day I went to Great Falls National Park. The falls are in the Potomac river, and that is the border between the states Virginia and Maryland. There are many overlooks where you get a great view:
