Matt spent the month of May working in upstate NY again, at Glimmerglass Opera, and I flew out there Memorial Day weekend to make the drive home with him. We decided to take the long way home, and made stops in PA and D.C. Our trip started out delayed, as bad weather caused me to miss my flight, so I arrived a day late.
Our friend Bob, who happens to live just 3 hours north of us, but I had to visit him in NY!

Glimmerglass Opera! Isn't it beautiful?
After a quick visit with friends, we headed down the road to Hershey, PA. It was on the way to Gettysburg, and of course we wanted to stop at Chocolate World!
They have a little mock factory tour, that's really more like a ride at Disney, but it was neat, and we got some free chocolate at the end!
Gettysburg was awesome! This museum had tons of artifacts from the war, and lots of videos and information. Really cool.
Some of the statues/memorials around the National Military Park.
It was really hot that day, so I decided to rest/hide in the shade of the above monument, but I guess Matt found me! =) (My belly looks really big from this angle...)
We drove to Fairfax, VA, just outside Washington, DC and spent the night. Then we set out early the next morning to do some sightseeing in the Capitol. It was very hot, but it was a great way to spend Memorial Day!Washington Monument
Lincoln Memorial
Hello, Mr. Lincoln.
Lots of history in that area. Here's where MLK, Jr. stood to deliver his speech, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
Pretty bridge over the Potomac.
Korean War Veteran's Memorial

Vietnam Veteran's Memorial. We couldn't get any closer, because there was some kind of presentation going on.
