HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

For Memorial Day I thought we would show our American patriotic spirit and all dress up in red.  And yes we even have new red strollers to match.  After we started walking from our house and got a lot of strange looks I decided this wasn't such a great idea.  Oh well!!  We thought it would be fun to walk through the military base and walk to Arlington Cemetery. It was a hot humid day.  To think it isn't even what summer weather is like.  For those of you who have not experienced a DC summer you should try it out.  Back to our walk to Arlington Cemetery.  We finally made it to the gate and we were turned away.  Dang it!  They closed the gate about 30 minutes before we got there.  We were hoping to get a good shot with all the flags and the girls.  It was sad we ran into an older lady who was pretty upset they had closed the gate.  She went on to tell us that her husband was buried there and she had been coming to visit his grave site for years.  She said they have never closed the gate in all the years she was coming.  She was pretty upset about it and complaining about our new president.  I felt so bad for her.  How sad is that her husband was a POW for 4 years in Germany and she couldn't even get in to see her husbands grave on Memorial day.  Oh by the way here is my new shorter hair cut.  It also has a lot more blond in it.  I love it.
