I am pretty sure when we went there we stayed at a campground and we took the subway into town to do our sight seeing. I think we did drive around at one point because I have some pictures I took from the back seat. I remember walking down towards the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials and it seems like the cemetery was around there. But then we turned and headed towards the Vietnam wall maybe... Like I said, it was a long time ago.

If you don't live here, I wouldn't expect you to remember. The Lincoln Memorial is just short of a mile to the main entrance of the Arlington Cemetery, bringing you in at the Memorial to the Women in Military Service. It has sidewalks on both sides, although the bridge has a roundabout on each end of it, making it a bit of a challenge for those not used to a lot of traffic. I walk and run this route at times and it is not bad at all.
I am glad you got a chance to see it. It has changed so much in terms of not being able to walk up to some of the monuments, such as the Capitol stairs and building anymore, not since 9/11.
True, I usually have a pretty good memory for that sort of stuff though. Like maps and directions I mean. I love roundabouts. I wish we had more of them here in Michigan.
I love roundabouts and miss Europe as many places don't even use traffic signals. I have to admit, many Americans don't know how to properly use them, causing many accidents over right of way.
Yikes.
Be careful what you wish for. :) Having said that, they make so much more sense!
Yeah, they do cause a lot of accidents. People need to slow down and pay attention and they will be okay. They put a big one in a couple years ago near my relatives in Columbus, OH and they seriously had an accident every day for a while...
