...TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION...

...Bill made the mistake of asking the tour guide why that phrase was on their license plates...holy cow...the "elderly" tour guide went off on a soapbox of how they live in the capitol city and pay taxes and do not have any representation in congress...we didn't think we'd ever get her back on track...he he...Washington DC was so much more than I expected...my favorites were the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial...the World War II and Korean War Memorials were awesome also...we saw the White House and the Capitol...the Smithsonians will have to be another trip...toooooo much...definitely will be back...the Arlington National Cemetery was huge...the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier was very emotional...the silence in the audience was touching...John F. Kennedy's eternal flame was a favorite spot...we also took a tour of Fredericksburg...it was amazing that so many of the buildings were the original buildings from the 1700s..to be standing at the grave of George Washington's mother...OMG...next stop Gettysburg, Pa...
