Just down from the Arlington house is John F. Kennedy's gravesite.
Here is his gravesite, along with his wife and two young children. One is a son, Patrick, who was born premature and died after just two days and the other was a daughter who was still-born. Her grave just says "daughter".
His gravesite was a little ways down the hill but had a spectacular view of the Washington Monument. There were also some of his famous sayings on a short wall that also faced the view of DC.
I thought it was cool that Jacqueline was buried next to her first husband.
And here's a pretty cool view of the gravesite with the Arlington House in the background. 
After we were done at Arlington, Jolene drove us by some of the other sites, and it really made me want to come back and walk around another day. By this time, we were all exhausted and hungry so we went and ate at a restaurant called Ketchup. Then Randy headed to some dinner and ceremony so I got to go relax back at the hotel and workout!
