April First In Corporate Housing May Be A Day For Fun

With the colorful history that Washington DC has it's no surprise that April Fools' Day pranks are many.  History has  documented all kinds of silliness between politicians, and notable names.  In 1925 more than 30 members of the Washington social elite received invitations to attend a dinner.  The host was to be Dr. Pavel Stransky secretary of the Czechoslovak legation. The location was the Washington Social Club.  The invitations were made by telephone from a woman with a French accent.  The big event arrived and the guests showed up to find the host was missing. In addition, the club was not prepared as they had received no request for reservation.   Oops!   Well,  the joke was on Dr. Stransky.  He never sent any invitations; he called no one; and the made no request to the club for dinner.  His comment to the press "Today is the 1st of April and I think it is all a joke.  But why should they pick on me?"  So, while living in DC corporate housing beware of phone invitations to fancy dinners.   Have fun in Washington!

Arlington Cemetery Must Be Seen When You Stay With Us In Military Housing

No trip to the DC area would be complete without a visit to Arlington National Cemetery.  This is the most significant military site in our nation and a visit here will change your life.  The cemetery is open every day and has a schedule of funerals that you should note before planning your visit.  Anywhere from 25 to 30 funerals are conducted every day here.  There are some rules you should learn before your visit and they are found on the website. 

Did you know?  Arlington National Cemetery is comprised of land that once belonged to George Washington Parke Custis, adopted grandson of George Washington. Custis spent his life commemorating Washington and built Arlington House on the 1,100-acre plantation as
a memorial to the first president. In 1857, Custis willed the property to his only surviving daughter Mary Anna Randolph Custis, who was married to Robert E. Lee. After the Lee family vacated the property at the onset of the Civil War in 1861, federal troops used the land as a camp and headquarters.  In 1863, the government established Freedman’s Village on the estate as a way to assist slaves transitioning to freedom. The village provided housing, education, employment training, and medical care. 

When staying in military housing put this site at the top of your to-do list. Be sure to begin your tour at the welcome center.  Here you will find maps and other important information to make your visit memorable.  Bring strollers and wheelchairs if needed because the site does not have these available.
