Gettysburg Pennsylvania (Civil War) Day 18

This is a section of the Cyclorama depiction  of the Battle at Gettysburg 

 At the top of Little Round Top, the hill each army raced to control.

This Monument was to the Pennsylvania Regiment. 

We got to stand on the battlefield where the last battle of Gettysburg was fought.

We forgot about this one... this is at the Washington Monument.

The different tours provided convenient ponchos. 

Some of us wanted to go rafting after seeing the rapids....

We had lunch right next to the falls.

 J taught our tour guide the history behind the Magna Carta

 They were in the process of fixing up the dome of the Capitol...hence the scaffolding.

National Archives (Day 16)

We also got to go to the Museum of National Archives where they keep the original Constitution and Declaration of Independence.  Unfortunately, pictures of the actual documents weren't allowed...

Ford's Theatre (Day 16)

This is the booth Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot

Colonial Williamsburg (Day15)

One of the most exciting parts of the day was watching the Virginia regiment march.

Guarding the Duke of Dunmore's house 

 Off duty at the back of his house :)

 In the brick yard, the boys got to help tread the clay.

 We got some good boot camp musket training.

 As expected the boys ending up getting into mischief.

 I think the blacksmith was one of the favorite.

White House

We walked a looooooong way to see the white house, so we were quite tired...

Since we were all so tired, Dad ran around to the back to take a pic. while we walked to the train.

National Museum of American History (Day 14)

A drum played by a military drummer in the Revolutionary War 

A famous battleship called The Philadelphia...

Korean War Memorial

The depicted soldiers had been etched into a lit wall.

Lincoln Memorial

It was really crowded at this one...

 but it was totally worth it to put up with the crowd.
