Got up early again to catch the Gray Line Tour bus for another day of sightseeing, but the bus didn't show up! The campground called the bus company and found out that Gray Line wouldn't be picking up at the campground or hotels anymore. They didn't notify the campground in advance. We got a refund from the campground and decided to sightsee on our own. First we drove to George Washington's home, Mount Vernon. We toured the house and grounds. Next we drove to Arlington National Cemetery where we took a tram tour. We got off the tram to see the Kennedy grave site with the eternal flame, the changing of the guard at The Tomb of the Unknown Solider and Arlington house, the former home of Robert E. Lee. After visiting Arlington we decided to try and see some of the things we didn't see on the downtown tour yesterday. Drove over the Arlington Memorial Bridge into DC, found a place to park near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and The Lincoln Memorial. Got lost in downtown DC at rush hour, but eventually found our way back to the campground. Went to supper at Mama Lucia Italian Restaurant. Then back to the RV for dominos.
