We visited Arlington a few years ago and it was pretty incredible, especially the changing of the guard. But the vastness of the site and the sheer number of graves was humbling. <abbr><em>Maureen’s last blog post.. <a href="http://fotosbymeg.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-drink-for-garden-art.html" rel="nofollow">I Drink for Garden Art</a></em></abbr> I always tear up when I see photos like these (which are amazing btw).

You know, I got dragged around to historical sights like crazy as a kid, and I only really liked the writers' houses (go figure). So, as an adult, I have it in my head that all that stuff is boring, only I haven't been to any historical sites as an adult. I think it would be far different than spending eons at Colonial Williamsburg at 10 years old. That tree is amazing!

Our family had folks pass at Gettysburg and while that was several generations ago, it does bring an eerie feeling when there. <abbr><em>ChristyACB’s last blog post.. <a href="http://growinghuman.blogspot.com/2009/05/book-reviews-gardening-when-it-counts.html" rel="nofollow">Book Reviews: Gardening When It Counts and Square Foot Gardening</a></em></abbr> That is one of the nice things about Virginia, the number of magnolias and crepe myrtles that give burts of bloom in even the most urban settings.

As for visiting historical places, I do like to do that mostly, but I don't like it when there are "over-guided" tours and it feels like I can't absorb the place in my own way... as if there are things I *should* see/get out of the place rather than what I'd really want to.... though a just-right tour can be quite helpful, I admit, but I tend to get antsy part way through and either want to linger at X point or skip on ahead in other parts. <abbr><em>Mangochild’s last blog post.. <a href="http://livinginalocalzone.wordpress.com/2009/05/03/can-you-guess-the-news/" rel="nofollow">Can you guess the news?
