My mom's been using her computer a lot for school work, so she won't let me write about it all at once. I'll write a short post every day until I get everyone caught up on what we've been doing.
A few weeks ago, my mom went with her friend to Arlington National Cemetery.
From there, they could see a beautiful view of Washington, with all the fall colors at their peak.
They visited the final resting place of the assassinated President Kennedy
And his brothers Robert and Ted.
They also visited the memorial for the astronauts killed in the Space Shuttle Columbia. Christa McAuliffe, after whom my mom's middle school was named, is on the right.
They also watched the changing of the guard, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
My mom and I are glad there are brave men and women who will protect our freedom and my mom was glad she got to visit them and honor their memory at Arlington.
A few days after she visited Arlington National Cemetery, my mom went to hear oral argument at the Supreme Court.
She had to get up at four in the morning and wait in line! Here are her pictures of the sun coming up over the Capitol and the Supreme Court building.
Here is the line she waited in! Looks like some Americans are willing to get up early for more than just Black Friday!
They case she heard was whether or not the FBI could put a GPS tracker on someone's car and use the information about their movement on public streets to convict them of a crime. The Supreme Court hasn't decided the case yet. My mom said that this was one of her favorite things she's done in DC! I didn't like it because they don't allow puppies in the Supreme Court. I think that's a violation of the Equal Protection Clause.
