The Means Invade DC

So, also in September, Spanky's parents visited DC for the first time since we have lived here in DC. His very kind, generous and patient aunt and uncle drove with them from Fort Smith to DC for the visit - it took a week and I think that they visited every Civil War Battlefied between the two places. While there are tons of pictures from the trip, they are all in Fort Smith and in hard copy so I'll try to re-live some of the trip for you...

On Friday, we all boarded into a rented Minivan (see below) and drove from DC to Getttysburg, PA to see the battlefield. We toured the museum, bought the CD reenacting the entire battle and drove very slowly through the park listening to the CD and reliving the battle - it was a really, really big battlefield...

On Saturday, we went to Arlington Cemetary and then toured the monuments and White House by Tourmobile (see our ride below). On Sunday, we visited the Museum of Natural Science and the Air and Space Museum.
