Washington D.C.-Day 1

Taylor and I are in Washington D.C. with the Glades Day School 6th Grade class. It has been a great trip so far! A very full day yesterday with flight, and then immediately hitting the ground running of seeing all the sights.

We left the airport and headed through Alexandria, VA to Mount Vernon to see George Washington’s place. Very interesting tour and video presentations. We closed the place down and then headed to dinner. After dinner, we went to the World War II Memorial. It is very beautiful at night. Wish we were here a few weeks later in the year to have the water in the different memorials.

Tried (to no avail) to teach Josh and Taylor how to iron their shirts and pants for the wreath service during the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. These guys are definitely needing to work on their domestic skills before they are marrying material!

On our way to Gettysburg this morning. Then to Arlington National Cemetery. Will post more pics later.

Here are some from yesterday. Enjoy!
