Sunday morning was our last chance to get to Arlington National Cemetery before leaving Washington. Therefore, we were up early once again and were at the cemetery by 8:15. We decided to take the Tourmobile which would allow to get to the sites that we were most interested in quickly. We stopped at the Kennedy family gravesite and the Tomb Of The Unknowns. We were also very lucky to see the changing of the guard at the Tomb Of The Unknowns.
We got back to the hotel, packed up our stuff and met up with Ross and Susie at Liz and Cutrina’s apartment. Liz and Cutrina decided that this year they would live off campus. It’s a really nice apartment. The funny thing is that alot of their furniture they got from the garbage bins at the back of the apartment. I think you call it dumpster diving. It’s amazing how great the stuff is that outgoing students throw out. Unfortunately, it was time for us to go. We said our goodbyes to Liz and Cutrina and promised to see them again in a few weeks in Pittsburgh at their next tournament.
We left Washington and headed home. We stopped at the Cracker Barrel in Hagerstown, Maryland for the mandatory Sunday dinner … homestyle chicken. We said our goodbyes to Ross and Susie and we continued the long drive home. The drive was uneventful except for the border crossing. Once again, there were no lines and we drove right up to the booth.
Here is a transcript of the conversation with the customs officer.
Customs Officer: “Citizenship”
Dorothy: “Canadian”
Customs Officer: “Anything to declare”
Dorothy: “Yup”
Customs Officer: “Ok”
