Day 4: D.C. and Pittsburgh













We got up early and took the subway into D.C. We took pictures at the Washington
Monument, but could not get tickets to go in. We then went by the White House and walked to the Mall where the Lincoln Memorial and War Memorials were. Let me say, the World War II Memorial and Vietnam Wall were unbelievable experiences. They are both worth seeing, but I must say, the World War II memorial was incredible. We then went over to the Lincoln Memorial and saw President Abraham Lincoln, and that is a cool site to see. We then walked about a mile to the Arlington Cemetery and we saw the "Eternal Flame" and JFK's grave.
We left D.C. at one and arrive in Pittsburgh around 6 and went to PNC Park to see the Cubs/Pirates. It was a great ballpark, and the view from the outfield looking over the river was amazing. Our seats were the best and closest seats we had all week. We sat three rows behind the left field fence. After the game, we left for home and finished our trip at 3 a.m. The overall trip was fantastic, and we will be updating over the next several days with the reviews and favorite memories from the guys on the trip. This will include our thoughts on each Ballpark, how they compare, the best and least things from each one, and what made the trip so great.
Continue to check back as we share about the trip. We will be planning the next leg of our trip soon!
