Best 4th of July I ever had was going the Air and Space. That took half a day, always does, I love it. Then going to the Arlington to the Kennedy grave, see the eternal flame, look back across the city and say “Wow”. From there I went to the Jefferson memorial, Shook the hand of a policeman and a soldier, stood at the wall and got choked up, then toured the Lincoln Memorial.

Sat on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and listened to 500,000 Proud Americans scream, ohh and ahhh, as the fireworks went off.

Love it and done it 4 times.

If any posters have never been this is an absolute on the things you must do before you die.

Very nice. I abhor crowds, so it wouldn’t exactly be my thing. But I’ve enjoyed all your highlighted venues separately, as I have four family members buried at Arlington.

Happy a super 4th Vendome ... to you and yours! ;)
