Visiting Arlington National Cemetery is a great way to spend a couple of hours. This summer Arlington is especially active with the addition of the Women in Military Service for America Memorial in Oct. 1997, and the "Sunset Parade" conducted every Tuesday evening at seven. The "Sunset Parade" is performed by the U.S. Marine Silent Drill Team and the Bugle Corps in a demonstration of precision marching.

A free shuttle runs from the parking lot to the parade grounds on parade days from 5-7Pm and returns between 8-9Pm. It’s worth seeing. Another inside tip is to take the $4 tour of Arlington. It's informative and hits the numerous highlights.

If you're going to walk, start at the visitor center first to pick up a free map.
