Historical East Coast Trip

Our bus driver, Art, was the best. He manuevered that bus through the narrow streets of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Alexandria, Virginia. I would not want his job. But he loves his job and we love him!

The Viet Nam Wall is extraordinary. You can see a few people doing "rubbings" of their loved ones. As you can see the names on the wall are small and the wall is very, very long.......

They guard the tomb 24 hours a week, 7 days a week. There was only one time because of the weather (I believe it was a hurricane) that they were released from duty, but they chose to continue the guard. They are amazing!

If you have never seen the "Changing of the Guard" at the tomb of the unknown soldier, this is a "must do." What an experience! These men make huge sacrifices for the honor of guarding the tomb.

This is the Naval Academy Chapel. Alicia and I have videotapped weddings here. It's just breathtaking with a VERY LONG aisle.

Living in the Baltimore area, I never realized how beautiful Baltimore is.

One of our many highlights of the trip was that some of our group were picked to help the Park Ranger at Ft. McHenry change the flag. Every morning at 10 a.m. they lower the small flag and raise the large flag. It was quite an honor.

Every party has one....

We had quite a few Birthdays and Anniversarys during our trip.

While in Philadelphia, PA, we had Betsy Ross as our tour guide.

While in New York, we went on an exquisite gourmet dinner cruise of the New York Harbor. The Statute of Liberty is quite a site at night from a ship.

Carol and Bill in New York Central Park.

We left Florida to be the "tailgunners" on Adventure Caravan's 26 day Historical East Coast trip. We started the trip in Boston, MA, and ended in Williamsburg, VA. We took a half day to go whale watching leaving the Plymouth Port.
