No better way to commemorate the Memorial Day holiday than a visit to Arlington National Cemetery. It was a memorable experience not only for me, but for the munchkins. Witnessing families celebrating the lives of their loved ones was heartbreaking. Our plan was to visit the grave site of a fellow Marine Hubby had served with in Okinawa and the grave site of an Army Colonel we had never met but have heard so much about. It was the Father of a classmate of Big Sister. We located the grave sites, paid our respects, and respectfully nodded to those mourning around us. It was a somber experience; yet, I felt honored to walk among the fallen who so bravely fought. 
To further celebrate the day, we headed to the Washington Nationals Stadium to watch Hubby's beloved Phillies play the Nationals.
Best possible outcome...PHILLIES WIN!
