Wednesday - Chilly Gettysburg and Rainy DC

In one day, we saw the greatest battlefield in North America, an amazing 4D movie, a huge elephant, and Schwiets on a horse - what could be better? The day began with an early breakfast and a cozy bus ride to Gettysburg (check out the Wednesday pics of some of the snoozers). We went to the new visitors center for a great video and Cyclorama presentation and, for some, a journey through the amazing new museum. Then, it was off to the hallowed ground as we saw the battle unfold and visited the Iron Brigade on the first day, Little Round Top from Day 2, and Pickett's Charge at the end of the battle. After lunch, it was back to Dc. Some people participated in a little DC Idol on karaoke. The Newseum was a hit among most of the group, with a lot of interactive material and a great exhibit on 9/11, which held all of the kids' interest. We took a quick trip to the Natural History Museum, had a delicious dinner at Buca, and then ended the night with games at ESPN. Check out your gamers on the pictures and videos.
We had a little slower pace today, but tomorrow is a big day - Arlington in the morning, the National Cathedral, two Smithsonian Museums, FDR and TJ Memorials, and the famous evening cruise on the Potomac. Wish for good weather!
