Big Trip in 2022:

I asked the PLC to give me some ideas for a big trip idea this year and they had a lot of ideas.  One of the ideas was something that most of them agreed upon.  They wanted to go back to something similar to Gettysburg and also visit Washington DC.  There was also a suggestion of visiting the Appalachian Trail.  Based on these recommendations, we will begin to plan a trip to Washington DC, June 11-14.  We will stop to visit Antietam National Battlefield and John Brown Fort near Hagerstown and Harper's Ferry along the way.  Both of these places were very significant during the Civil War.  We will spend Sunday June 12 through Tuesday, June 14 in Washington DC.  We will travel back on June 14th.
