Fourth day of the 2013 Freedom Tour! This day has consisted if many fun and interesting activities. The day started out with us waking up and loading the bus and traveling all the way to Gettysburg where we visited the memorials and monuments learning about all the regiments. After we finished the tour we headed to Washington D.C!

My favorite part of today was visiting the Marine Corps memorial and Pentagon memorial after dinner. They were very emotional and sad. They showed depressing parts of American history, but were also able to show how Americans are able to come together to rise again, and not forget the past, but to honor it.

Today is day 4 of the 2013 Bath Area Family YMCA Freedom Tour. We started out from our wakeup calls, getting ready and eating breakfast to get onto the bus by 7:30. From there we started our 2 hour bus ride to Gettysburg. In Gettysburg we had an amazing bus tour guide come onto our bus. We visited the battle field of Gettysburg, and saw all of the monuments from the different regiments. Today having a guest come onto our bus was amazing. Also being able to get on and off the bus to learn a little bit of all the different monuments and take pictures of them was an experience of a lifetime.

Today was day four of the Freedom Tour. We drove from Pennsylvania to Washington D.C. and visited Gettysburg and the Arlington National Cemetery as well as two other famous memorials. When we were at Gettysburg we had a step on tour guide who took us through the field and had us visit different significant locations during the battle. At Arlington we visited the Tomb of the Unknown and watched the changing of the guard. We visited the Marine Corps memorial and heard the background story of the soldiers on the monument; it was weird to hear the private story of icons so famous and was really inspiring. At the 9/11 memorial many people cried and it was very solemn. For dinner we went to Union Station, I had a gyro from one of the stands that was really good and a lot of people had pizza or giant doughnuts. Today was very fun and inspiring; I am excited for the rest of the tour.
