Day 3: Washington DC

Today we made our way to the Nation's Capitol! We started out by stopping at the Flight 93 Temporary Memorial. This is the place where the hijacked United Flight 93 crashed on September 11, 2001. The hijacked plane was upside down when it crashed and when it did crashed investigators found pieces of the aircraft 40 feet in the ground. After we stopped at the memorial we headed our way down country roads towards Bedford, PA for lunch. After lunch we made our way to DC.
