Last Friday we rented a car to go visit some friends and also to pick up some salvage groceries to restock our larder.
While we were out and about we decided to visit the National Memorial Arboretum which is nearby.
The Arboretum is 150 calm and serene acres that houses over 300 memorials, military and civilian, to various organizations,groups, and individuals. All the memorials are located amidst a beautiful maturing woodland of over 30,000 trees of differing species.
The memorials are of differing scale but all we saw, and we barely scratched the surface, we found to be extremely thought provoking and quietly beautiful.
But if memorials are not your thing, it is a beautiful place for a walk and still well worth a visit.
Guided tours are available but we chose to explore on our own. We did, however, enjoy the offerings of the Arboretum's small cafe.
