Wow. What and AWESOME trip! We visited tons of places, saw many things, and had a great time with each other! I love seeing new places. My favorite historical places from this trip are Washington D.C., Fort McHenry, and Yorktown. My favorite non-historical places were New York City and Williamsberg. We visited Central park after church one Sunday and it was amazing to see all the people there.
When we were in D.C. we went to the Arlington Cemetery and saw the "Changing of the Guard." The "Changing of the Guard" is a ceremony where one guard replaces the guard that stands in front on the unknown soldier memorial, dedicated to all the soldiers we do not know who gave their lives in defence of our country.
I didn't LEARN a whole lot, but I now have a greater appreciation and understanding of our country's history. It is amazing to see the places that seem to be almost fairytale-like in the story of our country's founding.
