Civil War Wednesday

The Civil War was the theme for most of the day as we traveled to Petersburg, Virginia to visit the American Museum of the Civil War Soldier. We experienced the life of a soldier firsthand with some drilling, walked the grounds of the battlefield of the Breakthrough in April of 1865, and strolled through the interactive museum, following the life of an actual soldier. We stopped at the US Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, which turned out to be a favorite if many travelers. We finished the day with a tour of the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Korean War Veterans Memorial. All in all - an awesome day making capital memories in DC.
