Pentagon

The boys and I took the metro down to the Pentagon today to meet Kyle after work. He is able to escort up to 3 visitors with his pass inside the Pentagon. It was really amazing to walk through the halls of this building, see the displays from past wars, watch people who work there walk the halls, and feel such gratitude for those who work and fight to keep our country free. There is no picture taking inside, but they had a 9/11 memorial out on one side of the building.

On the right side there are dark tiles laid in the ledge which are engraved with the birth years of each person who died at the Pentagon in the 9/11 attack. On the left each small monument that comes out of the ground and curves into a ledge is engraved with a name. 

 

I was so glad that we were able to meet Mr. Burger (Kyle's boss) and friends he works with in the Office of General Counsel. He really enjoys what he is doing. It is fun to be able to see these people in person after hearing so much about them these last few months. 

We walked to Pentagon City afterwards. There is a HUGE mall there that we walked through with pretty much every store you could ever want. Four levels of fun!
