We finally headed back to Maryland, seeing as how we only had 10 days before we had to move back to South Carolina!
We did stop in Cleveland to visit GG Girl and Uncle Cole. And Uncle Cole and I found an Indian restaurant within walking distance of GG's house!
On the drive back through Pennsylvania we decided to take a detour to Somerset County, where United Flight 93 crashed on 9/11. It was an interesting endeavor, as Henry LOVES history and knows all about the events of 9/11. But he also considers all history ANCIENT history. He was very surprised to find out that Brandon and I were alive in 2001 and remembered the events of that day.
The monument is also over a half mile long, so I also had job of keeping the kids, mostly the girls, relatively quiet and respectful during the whole walk. Not to mention that we were there on a Saturday and arrived at the same time as 5 tour buses.
The walk is flanked by a long, stone wall that runs along the field where the plane crashed. If you look close, you can see the large stone marking the final resting spot of the plane. June was very taken by the spots in the wall where you could leave mementos. Soon, she'd filled each with flowers.
