Memorials and Candles

Today is Meshanna's birthday.

After church we headed downtown. Our first stop was Arlington National Cemetery, where we watched the changing of the guard at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This was Adam's first time at the Arlington National Cemetery. He was surprisingly quite during the ceremony.

Our second stop was the National Mall. We walked from the Washington Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial. This was Adam's third time at the memorials.

After we got home it was time for birthday cake and homemade lemon ice cream. We placed 36 candles (or close to it) on a chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake, and watched in awe as Aunt Meshanna blew them out. Happy Birthday, Aunt Meshanna! We love you and are glad we got to spend your birthday with you.
