We left Washington DC this morning and made one last stop before heading out of the city. I wanted to see the Pentagon and the site of the 9/11 crash. It was surreal to be in that place where 184 people lost their lives, a place that changed the face of history and our country in so many ways. Aaron and Kari had been in New York just prior to meeting up with me and had just see the memorial where the Twin Towers once stood.
After leaving DC we headed over to Gettysburg, PA to get in a little bit more touring before going to Grantham, PA for the ACSD (Association of Christians in Student Development) conference that is the "real" purpose for this trip (the conference begins tomorrow). Gettysburg is quite the city! It's amazing to think about the horrific bloodshed that occurred in a location that seems so peaceful and calm now... We went on an evening walking tour and plan to do a driving audio tour tomorrow. I wasn't able to get any good pics of this historic location but will be sure to get some tomorrow. Until then...
