Day 4:So much to see so little time

Where we stayed:Last night at the Intown Uptown Inn
Weather: mid 70's, off and on clouds, sun and rain
Miles Walked: 3.704
Places we Visited: National Archives, Newseum day 2, Ford's Theater where President Lincoln was shot, Arlington Cemetery, Pentagon and Georgetown.
Highlights: Today was jammed packed and our last full day in DC. We both thought the tour and the National Archives was amazing. It was awesome seeing the Declaration of Independence, American Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and made it an unforgettable experience. Truly a place to not be missed. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the balcony the Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theater but they did have a great museum where we learned a lot. We then took the trek out to Arlington Cemetery which was well worth it. What an amazing place with gorgeous views, and history that gave you goosebumps. We saw Kennidy's grave and the Tumb of the unknown soilders. We saw the changing of the guard which was very neat, they are so respectful, patriotic and précis in there movements. We then headed over to Georgetown to get some yummy cupcakes(full story to come tomorrow) and grab dinner. We were walking around trying to figure our where to eat and who do we see... Maria Shriver (Aja Arnold's ex) and her daughter. It was funny beacause when she saw I recognized her she put her sunglasses on and it was 8pm. It was funny to actually see a star in real life I got a kick out of it. It was a fun way to end a busy day.
Fact: Most of National Treasure the movie was filmed at the Archives.
