Virginia













Well my family is in the process of moving to McLean, Virginia. I finished school for the semester last Thursday and my dad and I flew out to Virginia on Saturday the 11th of April. We stayed in a hotel in Arlington for a few nights before we moved into the house that my parents are renting in McLean. We had some down time Sunday evening so we went to the Iwo Jima memorial which is right next to the Arlington cemetery. We then walked into the cemetery for a little while. When we decided to leave and go back to the hotel we just thought that we could clime over a small stone fence and be back by were all the buildings are. Well we started walking toward all the buildings when we realized that they were all surrounded by chain-link fences and barb wire. We then came to the conclusion that we were in a secure area. We started heading back in the direction that we came and there was a guard checking the badges of some runners that where coming in the gate toward us. We were on the inside and we didn't have badges. So dad and I just started to walk and whistle and the guard didn't stop us exiting. When we where out we sheepishly looked behind us and realized that we had gotten in to Fort Meyers. Obviously they need to work on their security because it is really easy to get in there. That was quite the adventure!
