Reunion and Washington DC

 Had a great time with my friends. We three met somewhere around 1968-69 at Vandenberg AFB. We managed to get in a couple rounds of golf, some sightseeing and lots of good food. One day we drove to Gettysburg and did a quick drive through the battlefield. (Jackie and I are moving to Gettysburg today and will be staying at a park owned by the Moose Lodge. Plan on spending a couple days getting a better look at Gettysburg.) We also took a drive in Washington DC after dark to see the city with its lights. The Capital and Washington Monument were something to see at night. We also did a walking tour. Fred dropped Carl, Jackie and I off at the Metro and we took it into DC. Riding the Metro is an experience in its self. Part is above ground but mostly underground. In DC that is the best way to get around. There was a lot of walking required to see everything but with a couple benches and a few bottles of water we made it. I think this has been one of our best stops, we really enjoyed the visit and getting to see DC was something high on our bucket list. The move today to Gettysburg is only 40-50 miles, we have to go to a rv park to dump our holding tanks before going to the Moose Lodge. Should be set up by noon and off to see Gettysburg. After Gettysburg we are moving a little north toward Lancaster Pa to see the Amish community. After that not sure where we will head. Weather is perfect. Around 75 during the day and a little cool at night, so sleeping is comfortable. Pepper has been having more problems with her back legs, she struggles getting up stairs or hills.
