  • Air and Space museum

    August 28, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    While getting my first oil change of the trip, I start chatting with an employee that tells me to check out this museum. It's a really cool place, but I need a tour guide. I don't have the attention span to read what all the places were used for. They had all the real deal vessels. Huge place and it's located at the airport.Read more

  • Tim McGraw concert

    August 28, 2015 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

    Pam and Charles, my friends back home, sent me video that I requested of the Tim McGraw concert that they went to. I got jealous and decided if I could make it happen I would go to one as well. Totally worth it. I had an amazing time and lived every second of it. I left the concert and headed to Abel's home in Alexandria.Read more

  • Gettysburg

    August 30, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    I didn't plan it out well, but I walked about 7 miles of Gettysburg National Park in cheap old navy flip flops. Not my best move, and I feel like it just wasn't my kind of park. A lot of monuments. I would need a tour guide to make it interesting for next time. I did talk to the reenactment actors. I learned some pretty cool stuff from them.Read more

    This was the first time I got to use my America the beautiful pass. The security lady was super nice and punched out September for me, since they forgot to do it when I bought it. I was originally going to do a hike to get to a scenic view, but instead I met Anne and we walked the Appalachian trail going North for a while. We also cane across 5 backpackers on the trail. We talked to all of them for a little while. Two were hiking together said they had been out for two weeks and did about 200 miles already.Read more

    This is the birthplace of "The Star-Spangled Banner." We were debating even going here, but then I realized that it's part of the NPS and I was able to use my pass for both of us. Some interesting history. The flag that we were holding is 1/9 the size of the one in the Smithsonian. Also our current flag is the 26th version. We walked around, took some pictures, and headed to lunch.Read more

    We left the boardwalk and took a bike ride through Cape May. This was my first time on a motorcycle. We got to the lighthouse and walked over to the beach.

    September 4, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

He also told me how people that but homes out there are made to allow tours through their houses during the summer.Read more
