Tomb of the unknown soilder and Thomas Jefferson Memorial


This is a must see if you are in DC, just be ready for a nice hike! There is one guard that keeps watch of the tomb. At the top of the hour they change the guard. Here are some pics of the change. Their are two soilders that are changing and one is the Commander in charge of the change.

The guards are presenting arms to the commander before the change

This is the current guard before the change begins. He takes exactly 21 steps on the black strip. It's amazing who exact they are in this march.

This is the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. It's quite large and is contained on an island. We did not have time to get off and see this but hope to on a future visit
