We made it to Washington DC with no troubles. I was the only person selected to go through the new screening process and have the full body scan. It is obvious they are still learning how to use the system, because by the time I made it through the scan the rest of our group successfully made it through the traditional screening process and were waiting patiently for me! Our flight arrived at Reagan National Airport a few minutes and with no major turbulance. All the first time flyers did just fine! Tonight is one of the few opportunities for the kids to have some free time at the hotel and meet participants from other states. We will meet as a group at 10:30pm Eastern Time, and prepare for our trip to Pennsylvania tomorrow. Technically we haven't even been to Washington DC. Our Hotel is adjacent to the airport and is located in Crystal City, Virgina. Tomorrow morning we will cross over the Potomic River into the District and then drive through Maryland and into Pennsylvania. Sounds like we will be on the road a while, but in reality it will only take us an hour and a half to drive through three states on our way to Gettysburg. Not a lot of pictures to post...we haven't really started the full tour, but there are a few plane shots to view on smugmug.
I think we have a great group...the enthusiasm level is running high...Kristen
