Visit Arlington National Cemetary. Dedicated to
military veterns. You will be able to see the
grave of President Kennedy and his wife and you can
also tour the home of Civil war general Robert E. Lee and witness the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Also located next to Arlington National cemetary is the Iowa Jima memorial. The day I moved here to newly built home.

I lived in Dickenson Hall my freshman year and Essex Hall (perpendicular to Dickenson) my sophomore year. I liked this area for its proximity to the dining hall and classes. The first year was right much fun. It helped that I made good grades, particularly the first semester. I had a good room mate and good neighbours. However, my room mate's friends were not as considerate as he was when they came to visit. My room mate didn't want to tell them to go even when they lingered past 3 a.m. (when we had an 8.30 class). That was the only reason I moved to Essex Hall. I had a good room mate and he had a better class of friends, but many of my neighbours weren't anything to write home about.
Packing for a Weekend Away
by cjg1
Most of our trips to the area are weekend road trips so a small rollaboard or overnight bad will suffice. We pack according the season and weather forecasts. DC in the winter can be frigid so plenty of warm clothing and layers are a must. In the summer months the area can be stifling hot and very humid so light, breathable clothes are best. Comfortable walking shoes are always a must. We always pack umbrellas; just in case of rain. Shampoo, Hair gel, Razor, shaving cream, contacts, glasses, deodorant, toothpaste, aspirin, cologne, brush and body wash. Digital camera, charger, memory card reader and video camera Laptop
